CENTRE DE LA FRANCE
One of the great pride of Bruère-Allichamps is undoubtedly to be the geographical center of France since 1797. A witness to this exceptional geographical situation, a large stone monument overfitted with the tricolor flag is set in the crossroads of the commune. It was the Duke of Béthune-Charost who had him installed in 1799. The exact situation in central France is, of course, the subject of scientific quarrels. Some believe that Bruère-Allichamps has not usurped its title, others are looking for Saulzais-le-Potier, about twenty kilometers south. Some ensure that the center of France is located in Saint-Amand Montrond, rue des Sighirs very exactly. The good news is that it is possible to visit these three places in half a day, since Saint-Amand is between Bruère and Saulzais. Not sure it helps to get an idea, but at least we'll be sure you've been in the center of France!
