Apremont-sur-Allier

Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France

Close to where the Allier meets the Loire, this tiny village sits among hedged fields and woods on the river's west bank. Its château, rebuilt in the 15th century and reworked in the 17th and 19th, is the centrepiece, with the Parc Floral gardens around it. The castle stables now house a carriage museum, and the village church dates from the 13th century.
