Travel Guide Plou

Plou is located about twenty kilometers west of Bourges. The municipality is located at the extreme east of the Champagne of Bas-Berry, on a plateau delimited east by the Cheret River west by the river Arnon. Its southern boundary is close to the département which links Saint Florent-sur-Cher to Chârost. Its northern limit is close to the département which joins Bourges in Reuilly. You can admire Castelnau Castle in Brouillamnon, a stone building which originally (around 1000) was certainly built in wood. This wooden castle was replaced by a stone castle around 1100. In 1541 William de Bochetel, secretary of King François I, transformed the medieval building into a castle of Renaissance Renaissance style (between flamboyant Gothic and French Renaissance renaissance). We must wait until 1779 for Charles Joseph de Bussy to give him the appearance he has today. The original church dedicated to Saint Peter, dating back to the eleventh century. A part was rebuilt after the English occupation during the Hundred Years War. The wooden vaults date from the xivth century. The ruins of a xivth century castle, located in Font-Moreau, are also interesting. An obelisk of stone carved from a square of meters of square height, raised at the center of a clearing of the woods of Brouillamnon, probably part of the forest developments made by Charles Joseph Patissier of Bussy-Castelnau between 1756 and 1780 completes the tourist attraction of the commune.
