France

Vierzon is a station at an important rail junction in the Cher department of the Centre-Val de Loire region in central France, where the Paris–Toulouse main line meets the line running eastward to Bourges and Nevers. TGV services call here on the Paris Austerlitz–Toulouse route, and TER regional trains serve Bourges, Tours, and Châteauroux, making Vierzon a useful interchange for travellers crossing the Berry and Sologne regions. The town lies at the gateway to the Sologne, a vast forested and lake-dotted hunting territory south of the Loire châteaux area.
