TOWN PRESENTATION
  • Rouvres-les-Bois as its name suggests is surrounded by woods. Indeed, the town marks the transition between the Champagne Berrichonne and wooded areas of northern Boischaud. It is surrounded by timber candles, Levroux, the forest of Saint Paul, with plateaus bordering the valley of Renon.
  • The town is located:
  • 13 km from Levroux - Valencay - Vatan
  • 35 km from Issoudun - Chateauroux
  • 40 km from Vierzon - Romorantin
  • The canon Berger, herbalist degree from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Bordeaux, pastor of Rouvres-les-Bois from 1925 to 1940, has treated in his parish, then in a villa called Villa St. Leonid thousands of patients from all over France and even by the busload from Belgium and Holland. In 1954, a stele was erected in memory of Canon Berger, opposite the church.

SIGHTSEEING
  • The Church:
  • The old church Rouvres-les-Bois belonged to different eras. The nave of the first period of the 13th century, the apse of the 17th century. She was in a state of complete ruin, and in February 1850, the council decided to rebuild a new church at the same location as the former.
  • The current church whose dimensions are identical to the former, whose patron is Saint Jerome was built between 1864 and 1870.
  • A statue of St. Miroflète carrying his decapitated head on her knees is now sheltered in the church. Oral tradition relates the following legend:? One day a couple reaped, Paul, the husband broke his scythe and, furious, attacked his wife Miroflète and beheaded him. This would have picked up and brought to the town?.
