About Saint-Benoît-du-Sault Village
Perched above a bend of the river Portefeuille in the Indre, Saint-Benoît-du-Sault is a beautifully preserved medieval village, one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, born around a 10th-century priory. Its steep, winding streets of old stone houses, some hanging over the ravine, lead past a fortified gateway, a belfry, a Romanesque priory church and the fine houses of former canons, all wrapped in an air of timeless tranquillity. From the ramparts and terraces, lovely views open over the wooded valley below. Set in the gentle, green country of the Berry, far from the tourist crowds, the village invites unhurried wandering among its medieval lanes. Authentic, peaceful and richly atmospheric, Saint-Benoît-du-Sault is a hidden treasure of central France and a delight for lovers of old villages.
