Milestone of Bruère-Allichamps

Highlight • Monument

The Bruère-Allichamps column is a Roman landmark dating from the 3rd century. This ancient stone, reused as a sarcophagus in the Middle Ages, would mark the geographical center of France, according to the calculations of the 19th century geographer Adolphe Joanne. The column is located in the village of Bruère-Allichamps, at the intersection of two roads, and is surrounded by a small park with a picnic area. You can also enjoy the view of the Cher valley from the nearby hill, where you will find an orchard and a panoramic viewpoint.

Neo-Gothic religious building which has served as a place of pilgrimage since 1866, when it was built following the subscription launched to rebuild the church of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher which was in very poor condition. Father Jean-Marie Ducros asked all the children of France to send “two sous” in exchange for a prayer to the Virgin Mary. The basilica was so named following the letter that a 10-year-old child sent to the abbot in response to this subscription, in which she used this expression.

Château built during the Renaissance which belonged in particular to Colbert, the financial controller of Louis XIV.
In 2001, it was divided into 60 apartments by a real estate developer but work stopped due to lack of payment in 2006. In 2015, it was bought lot by lot by the current owners who have since tried to restore it.
The building has been listed as a historic monument since 1926.
