Discover Candé-Sur-Beuvron

Candé-Sur-Beuvron offers several distinct highlights for a hotel stay: hiking, river landscapes, historic architecture and wine. The local hiking route is specifically listed as 14 km long, while Vignoble Tévenot offers tours year-round. The Cosson, Beuvron and Loire rivers also have different relationships to the area. Travel-planning details vary in specificity: the local hike has a stated distance, winery visits are offered year-round, and beaver watching is possible but not guaranteed.

Hiking trails and notable stops

Local hiking trail no. 1, “Entre fleuve et châteaux,” is 14 km long and marked with blazes. Sights along the way include the old bridge of Candé. The route therefore combines a precisely stated distance with a named landmark along the way. Check local trail information before setting out.

The long-distance hiking trail GR®655 Est also passes through Candé-Sur-Beuvron. The two routes can be distinguished by the information provided: for GR®655 Est, its passage through the commune is specified, while the local hiking trail has a stated length and is marked with blazes. If you want to factor a specific distance into your plans, the local route has a stated length; the long-distance trail passes through Candé-Sur-Beuvron.

Rivers and landscape

The Cosson flows through Candé-Sur-Beuvron and joins the Beuvron in the lower part of the town. The name Candé-Sur-Beuvron, in turn, derives from the confluence of the Beuvron and Loire. The Cosson-Beuvron confluence thus describes the river course in the lower part of the town, while the name’s origin refers to the Beuvron and Loire.

The “Confluence de Loire” circular route follows the meeting of the waters of the Loire, Cosson and Beuvron; beavers may be spotted along the banks. The route thus combines a connection to the rivers with a possible wildlife sighting. Unlike the place name, which refers to the Beuvron and Loire, the route description also includes the Cosson.

Historic buildings

The Château de Candé was listed as a historic monument by decree dated 25 February 1948. Inside, a staircase with a wrought-iron railing, wood panelling and fireplace plaques have been preserved. The monument designation and specific elements of the interior architecture therefore go hand in hand.

The Église Saint-Bienheuré dates from 1855 and features painted decorations and stained-glass windows. The dates refer to different historical aspects: 1855 is the year of the church, while 1948 is the decree listing the château as a monument. This distinguishes the church’s construction date from the château’s monument listing.

Wine and visits

The 22-hectare family winery Vignoble Tévenot offers visits year-round, where you can learn about various aspects of winemaking; these include tours of the wine cellar and tastings of Cheverny and Crémant de Loire. The tastings and insight into production bring named wines together with the process behind them. As visitor arrangements may change, check the latest visiting options in advance if you are planning a cellar tour or tasting.
