A granite monument displaying a cross of Lorraine faces the entrance to the Château du Cerf-Bois here and recalls one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Sologne resistance. It was erected in memory of 12 Parisian students shot by the Nazis on June 10, 1944 in the clearing that you can reach by following the path in front of you. Another monument was erected in this clearing, accompanying the steles in memory of each of the young men.

These young Parisian students were part of a large wave of departures for the maquis following the call of June 6, 1944 by Marshal de Gaulle. On June 9, they reached their first stop towards the Corrèze maquis: the Château de Cerf-Bois, where Madame de Labeau welcomed them.
Another group of students was welcomed the same evening at the By farm, about fifteen kilometers away. However, this information having been obtained by the Gestapo, they were apprehended on June 10 at 5 a.m., searched, questioned then shot, apart from a traitor hidden among them and affiliated with the Paris Gestapo. He indicated to the Germans that the sketch found on one of the students corresponded to three resistance gathering places, including the Château de Cerf-Bois.
A raid was immediately organized at the castle and the 12 young men who were there were executed.
As for the third place indicated on the sketch, the Château des Grand-Bois, 14 students and the owner of the premises were also found and deported to Dachau, where eight died.

Saint-Aignan Church of Sandillon

Highlight • Religious Site

There were two churches in Sandillon from the Middle Ages, one dedicated to Saint Aignan and the other to Saint Patrice, which was rather the parish of the écarts and the beautiful surrounding residences. Each of them was surrounded by a cemetery. The Saint-Patrice church was deconsecrated during the Revolution, then destroyed, a plaque located on rue St Patrice still indicates its location. Only the Saint-Aignan church remained standing, much smaller. During the first half of the 19th century, the building, which was deteriorating due to lack of repairs, was no longer sufficient to accommodate the faithful. Initially oriented towards the east, in the direction of the rising sun, like many churches it was oriented towards the north when it was rebuilt in 1860-1861.

Superb view of the Loire

Highlight • Other

Very pretty view of the Loire, preserved in its wild state. Nature changes with each season but remains superb in all conditions. Depending on the water level, small islands appear, vegetation develops and then everything disappears when the water level rises.
The track which allows you to follow the Loire is in perfect condition here.

Beautiful view of the Loire

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Loire here is truly magnificent. Away from road traffic, you can observe many species of birds.

In the distance, you can see the beautiful town of Châteauneuf-sur-Loire.
