Cher, France travel guide

The Cher department of France is located to the south-east of the Centre region of France. Together with Indre it formed the historical Berry region of France.

Not so many of the most important castles in the Loire Valley...but the Cher department compensates for that by having the best known cathedral in the region, at Bourges Cathedral, and several other important and interesting historic monuments.

Apart from the UNESCO listed cathedral, the town of Bourges itself is interesting, and has also been awarded the 4* Ville Fleurie Award. To the north-west of Bourges, visit Mehun-sur-Yevre and castle remains.

Among the other places of interest in the Cher department is the village of Apremont-sur-Allier, a classified beautiful village known for its gardens, and the village (and wine region) of Sancerre.

Some of the other highlights to be found include:
