The most beautiful view is from the bridge.

A viaduct in two parts. The first spans the Moulin Neuf road and the second spans the Arnon. It rises to a height of 55 meters and welcomes bungee jumpers who take off in front of the castle.

Castle in excellent condition, mainly built between the 12th and 15th centuries. It follows two previous buildings destroyed in the 10th and 12th centuries. Mazarin ordered in 1651, at the time of the Fronde, the destruction of part of its structure (entrance castle, top of its keep and certain areas of its ramparts). Its last owner, who died in 2020, tried to bequeath the castle to the Cher department, which refused due to the excessive cost of maintenance. The visit is possible every day between Easter and All Saints’ Day. Medieval weekends and thematic visits are also organized there during part of the summer.
