Bourg du Cher with around 1500 inhabitants, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, Châteauneuf-sur-Cher is a pleasant rural town in the Bourges area of attraction. It is located not far from Chavannes, Montlouis and Chambon, about thirty kilometers from Bourges.
Occupied since prehistoric times, the territory of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher was divided into two towns in the 13th century: the upper one on the rocky promontory and the lower one at the crossing point of the ford. Reunited in the 16th century, it was then a prosperous site, in particular thanks to its cloth and wool merchants. Exclusively oriented towards the weaving of wool at the end of the 18th century, it still experienced a new boom a century later with the arrival of the railway linking Bourges to Montluçon.
Long at the center of an important local trade, the municipality of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher attracts today mainly by the richness of its architecture and its historical heritage.
