Romorantin-Lanthenay is a picturesque town in the Loire Valley. A historic complex of 15th-16th century mills and half-timbered houses has been preserved there.
The city was created by joining two separate centers in the mid-twentieth century. In the past, these were lands belonging to French kings, and Francis I even commissioned Leonardo da Vinci's Renaissance expansion project of Romorantin. The plan was never implemented, but the town remained under royal protection for centuries.
The greatest attraction of Romorantin-Lanthenay is the preserved 15th and 16th century buildings. The small center can boast several water mills and half-timbered houses. The streets where they stand have a unique charm. The visit to Romorantin-Lanthenay also includes the Sologne Museum, where you can learn about the history and nature of the region.
