Loving earth
The Pays Fort

Pays-Fort is a hilly and authentic territory located in the heart of Berry, between Sologne and Sancerre. Nestled in the hollow of the bocage hills, the Pays-Fort is the cradle of the pyramidal barns, emblems of the region. Its rural nature has been preserved over the years, making Pays-Fort an ideal place for practicing many nature activities.

Pays-Fort takes its name from the land that composes it, made of clay and limestone. We speak of “loving” soil because it is fertile and adheres perfectly to the soil.

Warm inhabitants, natural landscapes and a privileged geographical location, so many aspects which make Pays-Fort an essential region to visit
