The view of the Loire here is truly magnificent. Away from road traffic, you can observe many species of birds.

Saint Martin's Church

Highlight • Other

Stone church from the 15th-16th century, typically Solognote and built with a "caquetoire" where the faithful used to discuss.
The statue of Sainte-Montaine, patron saint of Sologne, is kept there.

"A very old church; two buttresses would allow us to date it to the 11th century," we learn. "Rebuilt in the 13th century, damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt again in the 16th century before being burned down during the Wars of Religion and then looted during the Revolution. Its last restoration dates back to 2014."

Saint Martin Church of Vienne-en-Val

Highlight • Religious Site

Built from 1900 to 1903 by Clavier, an entrepreneur in Vienne-en-Val, based on plans by Henri Rapine, an architect in Paris, this Saint Martin church is the second in Vienne-en-Val. The first church, dating from the 14th century, was destroyed. Inside, the base of the church's lectern depicts various scenes from the life of Saint Martin. The base bears the date 1613, while the eagle, which is said to have come from Férolles, is probably from the 19th century.

Archaeological Site of Vienne-en-Val

Highlight • Historical Site

At this location, during sanitation work in 1968, a certain number of ancient and medieval remains were unearthed, witnesses to the occupation of this site since Antiquity. Vienne-en-Val is also located on the Roman road from Orléans to Sancerre.
The presence of two churches, one Merovingian and one dating from the 10th century, was revealed by surveys. The remains found, in particular sculpted blocks reused in these later constructions, attest that a sanctuary from the Early Roman Empire existed in the area but its location has not yet been discovered.
You can discover these ancient blocks nearby, in a community hall which serves as a lapidary museum.

Saint-Aignan Church of Sandillon

Highlight • Religious Site

There were two churches in Sandillon from the Middle Ages, one dedicated to Saint Aignan and the other to Saint Patrice, which was rather the parish of the écarts and the beautiful surrounding residences. Each of them was surrounded by a cemetery. The Saint-Patrice church was deconsecrated during the Revolution, then destroyed, a plaque located on rue St Patrice still indicates its location. Only the Saint-Aignan church remained standing, much smaller. During the first half of the 19th century, the building, which was deteriorating due to lack of repairs, was no longer sufficient to accommodate the faithful. Initially oriented towards the east, in the direction of the rising sun, like many churches it was oriented towards the north when it was rebuilt in 1860-1861.

Superb view of the Loire

Highlight • Other

Very pretty view of the Loire, preserved in its wild state. Nature changes with each season but remains superb in all conditions. Depending on the water level, small islands appear, vegetation develops and then everything disappears when the water level rises.
The track which allows you to follow the Loire is in perfect condition here.
