Local highlights range from a long-distance hiking trail to a route with a specified distance.
Rivers and their confluences
The Cosson flows through Candé-sur-Beuvron and joins the Beuvron in the lower part of the village. The origin of the village name, however, refers to the confluence of the Beuvron and the Loire. The “Confluence de Loire” circuit follows the meeting point of the waters of the Loire, Cosson and Beuvron. This means the river running through the village, the origin of its name and a route along the three waterways offer different perspectives on the landscape. Beavers may be spotted along the banks. With a little luck, you may be able to enjoy this wildlife-spotting opportunity alongside the rivers; sightings are not guaranteed.
Hiking trails and sights along the way
The GR®655 Est long-distance hiking trail passes through Candé-sur-Beuvron. The local hiking trail No. 1, “Entre fleuve et châteaux,” is 14 km long and marked with bars. This gives you a choice between a long-distance trail through the municipality and a local route with a clearly specified distance. The old bridge in Candé is one of the sights along the “Entre fleuve et châteaux” hiking route. The 14 km distance gives you a concrete basis for planning your day. Check local information before setting out, as trail conditions and markings may change.
Church and château
The Église Saint-Bienheuré dates from 1855 and features painted decorations and stained-glass windows. Another historic building is the Château de Candé, which was listed as a historic monument by a decree dated 25 February 1948. The château retains a staircase with a wrought-iron railing, wood panelling and fireplace tiles. The church and château offer different points of interest: the church is notable for its decorations and glass, while the château stands out for its listed status and preserved interior features. These buildings provide distinctive, tangible points of reference for the village’s history.
Wine and planning your visit
The 22-hectare family-run Vignoble Tévenot offers winery tours and tastings of Cheverny and Crémant de Loire throughout the year. During visits, you can learn about different aspects of winemaking. This combines discovering the wines with an insight into the work of the winery. As visiting arrangements may change, it is advisable to check the latest details in advance.
This gives you several options for planning your trip: riverside scenery, hiking, historic buildings or wine.
