Restaurant La Boullaye

Highlight • Restaurant

You have to point out the restaurants at EV6, because they are few and far between.
Here is a slightly more upscale restaurant, La Boulaye!

The Château de Nitray is a typical residence of the French First Renaissance. Built on the left bank of the Cher, it consists of two towers at the north entrance: one houses a chapel and the other the fruit tree (where fruit was dried). The lord's house overlooks the park as well as the main courtyard. A dovecote with its rotating ladder in working order completes the set. The French-style garden housing the vegetable garden and the orchard is located to the south of the agricultural buildings. The 10-hectare vineyard is located to the west of the chateau.

Nitray Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Nitray dam is a needle dam established on the Cher.

Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now.

It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.

Cher Valley Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A good way to leave the city of Tours by bike is to take this green lane which follows the Cher. The coating is excellent. The route begins at L'île Balzac in the city center and takes the direction of Montrichard along the river to the east.

Whitewater kayak route

Highlight • Other

Unfortunately, it will probably never be operational again. To do this, two completely dismantled weirs on both sides of the island in the Cher would have to be rebuilt and the Cher must also carry sufficient water.
