Blancafort (in French pronounced as /blɑ̃kafɔʁ/) is a commune in the Cher department in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.
A forestry and farming village situated in the valley of the river Sauldre, some 33miles north of Bourges at the junction of the D8, D30 and the D39 roads. The commune has a border with the department of Loiret. A canal was built here in the nineteenth century to ease drainage and provide transport links. The canal de Sauldre was last used commercially in the 1920s.
