Chezal-Benoit

Among the towns of Centre-Loire Valley, Chezal-Benoît stands out for the former Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Pierre, a reminder of its medieval religious importance in Berry. The commune lies in gently rolling agricultural country, where the Portefeuille watercourse is part of the local landscape before joining the Arnon. The abbey church and monastic heritage give this small community in the Cher department a character distinct from the Loire Valley’s better-known royal cities. Fields and hedgerows shape the roads around the settlement, reflecting the quieter rural side of historic Berry. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Centre-Loire Valley.
