We bought these fantastic postcards at the Montrichard brocante a few years back. The postcards show the view from the old bridge over the Cher along Rue du Pont, with the castle ruins in the background.

This photograph, taken from the car when we were stopped at the traffic lights, shows nearly the same view. You can see that the tower on the castle has been destroyed, probably by the French when trying to prevent the Germans crossing the Cher during the Second World War. |  |
