I originally included all the monuments (as well as further
intended monuments) of Centre on one page; this has
now become too long and unwieldy so now each department ( in
this region ) is on a separate page. Click on the link,
below the coat of arms, above to access each department. The
region of Centre was created in 1956 with the
other regions and is made up of parts of the old provinces of
Touraine, Orléans, and Berry; Its regional capital is the city
of Orléans. Centre comprises six which are listed above; the départment capitals are thus: Cher - Bourges Eure et Loire - Chartres Indre - Châteauroux Indre et Loire - Tours Loiret - Orléans Loire et Cher - Blois In 2015 the regions were reorganised beng in general reduced in number. Centre was then renamed Centre-Val de Loire because Centre was not central from a geographical aspect and the name was considered rather dull and not creating the idea of the Loire Valley. |

If anyone knows of any monuments in Centre that I have not listed or I have noted as to be visited, please let me know. |
