Aubigny-sur-Nère François I House in Aubigny-sur-Nère

Aubigny-sur-Nère

Aubigny-sur-Nère is a historical location for the Auld Alliance, which linked together France and Scotland in 1295 against England. During this alliance, King Charles VII rewarded the courage of Lord John Stuart of Darnley and offered him the lordship of Aubigny-sur-Nère. The town remained Scottish owned for almost 250 years. This might be the reason why its atmosphere is so peculiar.
