Noyers-sur-Cher : les activités phares de la commune !

A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY: THE AMERICAN CAMP

Calling all history lovers! Your first stop in Noyers-sur-Cher takes you to the Aire des Trois Provinces — a picnic area. Here, a scenic walk invites you to follow the footsteps of the “Sammies”, the American soldiers who came to France at the end of World War I.

🛎️ We’ve got a question for you: Between January 1918 and July 1919, how many American troops passed through Noyers-sur-Cher?

🥁 The answer is… Over 30,000! In just a few months, the village’s population soared from 1,800 to more than 32,000! A drastic change, but one met with ingenuity and cooperation from both locals and their unexpected American guests.

📲An historical yet fun activity? It’s possible! No need for a paper map, just open the HISTAR web app and dive into the daily lives of American soldiers through 3D models and augmented reality. An immersive experience that brings history to life, both that of France and the village of Noyers-sur-Cher!

Decades later, Americans are still making noise in Noyers-sur-Cher and we love it!

MAISON GUÉNARD: FLAVOURS WITH A FRENCH TOUCH

What better way to elevate a homemade dish than with exceptional local products? That’s exactly what Maison Guénard offers — a specialist in nut oils since 1824. Based in Noyers-sur-Cher, this artisanal workshop produces gourmet oils made with love: walnut, almond, pistachio, sesame, and many more! The walnuts and hazelnuts are sourced primarily from the Centre-Val de Loire region, and more broadly across France 🌰All of this is done with the utmost respect for tradition and craftsmanship, a unique and authentic process passed down through generations. All that’s left is to step through their doors… and treat your taste buds! 😋
