A pond located in a beautiful setting, private but accessible to anglers. Starting point for several hikes.

A typical rural commune of the region, Sancoins is located on the borders of the provinces of Bourbonnais, Nivernais and Berry.

A beautiful castle ruin that unfortunately cannot be visited as it is fenced off and privately owned.

This church, built at the end of the 11th century in the Cluniac Romanesque style, has been extensively remodeled over the centuries. The nave is preceded by a narthex, on the left of which opens a baptistery, very rare in the Lévis region. The building is topped by a square 15th-century bell tower adorned with a modillion cornice. A carved wooden pulpit from the late 16th century and a Baroque high altar in carved and gilded wood from the early 17th century constitute quality furnishings. A beautiful statuette from the 15th or 16th centuries depicts the Virgin Mary receiving instruction from Saint Anne. The Stations of the Cross (14 paintings by J. Missé, a contemporary sculptor) are also featured.

Modest Romanesque building from the 12th century composed of a nave with a bell tower raised on its southern side and an apse. It was remodeled in the 17th century. It houses three large stone statues, two of which are listed as MH (representation of Saint Michael slaying the dragon and representation of Saint Mammès) and four small wooden ones.

Unfortunately this monument was closed when we passed by. That's why there is only one photo!
