At the limit of the Loire Valley, Bonny-sur-Loire reveals all its attractions. Located at the edge of the Loire, 160 km from Paris and 80 km from Orléans, the city is accessible by the A 77 motorway and the Nationale 7, emblematic road that allowed to go down to the Côte d'Azur from Paris.

In ancient times, Bonny-sur-Loire was an important agglomeration. The city belonged to the 8th century to the diocese of Auxerre but was seized by the royal domain after the death of Bishop Hainmar in 769. At the beginning of the 15th century, Bonny-sur-Loire was a stronghold where the English had entrenched themselves. Joan of Arc, before leading King Charles VII to Rheims for the coronation, besieged the city by one of his captains, Admiral Culan, who quickly captured the city. The wars of religion subjected Bonny to hard trials because Catholics and Protestants competed for it.
