DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

Le Cher is part of the former province of Le Berry (Indre and Cher) and is in the Centre region of France. The capital city of Cher is Bourges - in Celtic times Bourges was known as Avaricum which was the capital of the Bituriges Celts. Bourges was annexed into France in the year 1100.

The Cher is a department steeped in history, culture and tradition all set in a beautiful and varied landscape and has been inspiration to artists and writes for several centuries.

Alain Fourneir (1886-1914) wrote Le Grand Meaulnes at Epineuil-le-Fleuriel (East of Châteaumeillant), and the prize-winning book Marie-Claire was written by Marguerite Audoux (1863-1937) who is remembered at Aubigny-sur-Nère.

The sculptor Jean Baffier (1815-1920) and the painter Maurice Estève (born in Culan 1904) are both prolific artists of the region.

Another famous person of the Cher is Jacques Coeur (1400-1456) who, from the age of 32, sailed many times to the Orient, making his fortune in setting up a trading Network all along the Mediterranean which enabled him to finance the last campaigns of the Hundred Years War. Sadly for him this made him some serious enemies - the Royal Court - that eventually led to his demise in exile. You can today follow a tourist trail that is named after him.

Sancerre is a world famous wine region. This small hilltop ancient town is surrounded by picturesque rolling hills covered in vines - the traditional "French scene". Close by is Mentou Salon also renowned for its wine as well as its cheese.
