Saint-Benoît-du-Sault

Saint-Benoît-du-Sault is a medieval village, perched in a curve on a rocky butte overlooking the Portefeuille River in the former province of Berry. Since 1988, it has been a Plus Beaux Village de France.

We went there last Thursday, after our damp picnic lunch. This means we weren't 100% in exploring mode, and it started to rain soon after we arrived. Thus, we only have photos of a few of the buildings, but we will be going back.

The gatehouse into the centre of the medieval town, which has a belfry attached.

There are dozens of medieval houses. This one caught the eye.

This is the rue du Portugal, although in the direction away from Portugal.

Some of these photos are courtesy of my cousin Linda. She was able to take photos because she was wearing a raincoat, whereas I was doing umbrella wrangling.
