Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ bʁisɔ̃ syʁ lwaʁ/, literally Saint-Brisson on Loire) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.[2]
The name Saint-Brisson is traditionally derived that of Saint Brice, to whom the parish church is dedicated.
The, built by the de Sancerre family in the early 13th century on the site of a 12th-century construction, is a tourist attraction, benefitting from its proximity to the many historic châteaux of the Loire Valley.
