Travel Guide Mehun-Sur-Yèvre

To discover Mehun is to understand the history of Berry and the French Middle Ages, and to love old stones. Just stroll in the shadow of the majestic château of the Duke of Berry and King Charles VII, and marvel at the richness of the museum's collections and the charm of the old streets: the collegiate church of Notre-Dame, the porte de l'horloge, the ramparts, the old houses... Mehun is a historic town and a stopover on the route of Joan of Arc, and the town, which is part of the Parcs et Jardins network, also offers the chance to recharge your batteries in the heart of its water and green gardens, and to stroll along the banks of the Yèvre and Annain rivers, and the towpaths of the Canal de Berry.. Admire the trees and flower beds, listen to the water and birds, fish, run, play, attend a concert or an impromptu audition.. Discovering Mehun also means enjoying the arts and crafts, meeting craftsmen and artists, sharing their know-how... Treat yourself to glassware, a fan, a painting or marquetry, enjoy a potato galette or pâté... Visit a porcelain factory, choose your motif with a decorator, admire the Berry porcelain collections at the Musée Charles VII - Pôle de la porcelaine. Mehun has been awarded the Musée de France, Ville et Métiers d'Art and Route de la porcelaine labels. And to discover Mehun is to take part in its annual festivities: the crowning of the Rosière (1st Sunday in May), the medieval market (1st weekend in July), jardins en fêtes (every Sunday in August), the Saint André fair (November) and many others.
