Apremont-sur-Allier, located close to the confluence of the Loire and Allier rivers in the Cher department in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. It's just about in the center of France.
During the Middle Ages, its prosperity came from to the activity of the local quarrymen who transported by barge the cut stones used to build the cathedral of Orleans and the Abbey of St Benoît-sur-Loire.
Between the First and Second World Wars, Eugène Schneider, the ironmaster from Le Creusot (Saône-et-Loire), decided to renovate the village; he had buildings not corresponding to the style of the site destroyed and replaced by groups of houses built in the local medieval style.
The Château and its Parc Floral are a focal point of the region.
