Discover Noyers-Sur-Cher: Nature, Culture and River Landscapes
Accommodation in Noyers-Sur-Cher
Discover Noyers-Sur-Cher from different perspectives: La Boucle de Noyers passes through several natural environments, Chapelle Saint-Lazare combines a former use with exhibitions, and the Cher and Canal de Berry are part of the river and canal landscape. Maison Guénard’s oil production in Noyers-Sur-Cher is another point of interest. When planning a stay, you can decide how to weigh these nature, culture and production themes according to what interests you most.
La Boucle de Noyers and its natural environments
La Boucle de Noyers is a walking trail created through a partnership between the municipality of Noyers-Sur-Cher and three nature conservation organisations. The route passes through three distinct natural environments: open meadows, riverside forests and marshes. Along the trail, you can discover rare, characteristic and common species. This range also makes the nature walk interesting for visitors who are not looking only for rarities: common and characteristic species are also among the possible discoveries.
If you prefer to discover nature along a specific route rather than focusing on a single species, La Boucle de Noyers brings these two approaches together: the trail passes through different habitats, where you can discover both rare and common species.
Chapelle Saint-Lazare: History and exhibitions
Chapelle Saint-Lazare was a former leper hospital dating from the 12th century; it was classified as a historic monument in 1862. The two dates relate to different aspects: the 12th century refers to its former use, while 1862 refers to its classification. The chapel hosts exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography throughout the year. Exhibition schedules may vary; check which presentations are currently planned before your visit. This brings historical context and a changing connection to art together in one place.
The Cher, Canal de Berry and fishing
The third section of the Canal de Berry follows the Cher to Noyers-Sur-Cher and then continues along the canalised Cher to Saint-Avertin. The Cher is partly wild from Montluçon to Noyers-Sur-Cher and is navigable or canalised as far as Tours; it passes through 117 municipalities. The two routes should be distinguished to understand their different geographical scales: the Canal de Berry section mentions Noyers and Saint-Avertin, while the Cher extends from Montluçon to Tours and passes through 117 municipalities in total.
Fishing waters near Noyers-Sur-Cher include the Cher, the basin and the Canal de Berry. Before fishing, check the applicable local rules and permit information, as both may change.
Maison Guénard and oil production
Maison Guénard has specialised in producing oils from nuts and other oil-bearing fruits since 1824, and makes culinary oils from walnuts, almonds, pistachios, sesame and other ingredients in Noyers-Sur-Cher. Its specialisation dating back to 1824 and production in Noyers connect the company’s history with local production. For travellers interested in food production as well as nature and history, the business adds a culinary dimension to the town’s points of interest.
