Perhaps already occupied in the Neolithic era, the site was colonized at the time of the Roman Empire; witnessed by many traces of an aqueduct, a Roman villa, a Roman road. Hosting a Viguerie (medieval administrative court) and a medieval fief, Chambourg became a commune in 1789, following an exchange of hamlets hitherto undivided with its neighbor Chédigny. Flooding of the Indre, always to be feared in 2014, has not deterred people from settling permanently in Chambourg on the banks of the river.

Formed as Chambourg-sur-Indre in 1920, the town is one of the few rural areas of Lochois that as not experienced population decline in the 20th century. In 2011, its population was 1,317. Over the last 30 years, agriculture in the community has refocused around large farms specializing in the cultivation of cereals, oil seeds and protein crops. In industry, since 1961, Chambourg-sur-Indre has welcomed a major French company in the field of traffic signs.

Between the Gâtine of Loches plateau, the Loches forest and the Indre valley, Chambourg has in its territory varied wildlife worthy of being partially integrated with multiple national conservation efforts including (ZNIEFF) and (Natura 2000) for the assessment and protection of biodiversity.

Geography

Location and surrounding communities

The town of Chambourg-sur-Indre is located in the southeast quadrant of the Indre-et-Loire department, in the historical region of Touraine. Chambourg-sur-Indre is located at 31.8 kilometres (19.8 mi) southeast of Tours, as the crow flies[2] prefecture of the Indre-et-Loire department is 6.3 kilometres (3.9 mi) north in Loches.[3]

Geology and topology

The main geological formation Chambourg-sur-Indre is Cenomanian sandstone, deposited about 95 million years (Ma) ago by a sea that covered Touraine. Deposits laid on top of this are a yellow Turonian limestone (deposited 90 Ma), then a layer of Senonian chalk (between 89 and 65.5 Ma); the sea receded at the end of this period, which corresponds to the end of Mesozoic ear.[4] In the northwest corner of the commune, a different seas deposited the limestone lake in the middle and the end of the Eocene epoch (37 to 34 Ma), characteristic of the small fertile agricultural region of Champeigne tourangelle.[5] The rest of the plateau is irregularly covered with loess (wind blown sediment) from the Quaternary period,[6] forms an infertile soil called "bournais".[7] The valleys of the Indre and its tributaries, which have cut the base of the limestone plateau during alternating glacial and interglacial periods of the Pleistocene, are covered with recent alluvium, giving the soil a hydromorphous tendency, often with a shallow water table. The slopes between the plateau and the valleys are eroded washed silt or gravel deposits and clay from the Turonian and Senonian strata;[8] this type of soil is called "perruche" (parakeet) in the Loire Valley.[9]

The land area of Chambourg-sur-Indre is 2,839 hectares (on 1 January 2014), the average area of a French commune being 1,510.2 hectare.[INSEE 1][INSEE 2]

The altitude of this area varies between 62 metres (203 ft) and 119 metres (390 ft).[10] The lowest point is on the edge of Indre within the municipal boundary of Azay-sur-Indre and the highest is on the west plateau, bordering Chanceaux-près-Loches and Dolus-le-Sec.[5]

Natural landscapes

Woods and forests are still present in Chambourg-sur-Indre where they still account for about a fifth of the total area of the municipality.[11] They are found in the east, near Saint-Quentin-sur-Indrois and Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu (limit of Loches National Forest), as in the west, where they form a band from commune headquarters to the municipal boundary with Chanceaux-près-Loches. The broad valley of the Indre offers a landscape of meadows, most of which are flooded during flood periods, bordered by groves of poplars to enhance area once covered in grass. The rest of the municipality, namely non-forested parts of the plateau adjoining the Indre Valley by wooded slopes, dedicated to agriculture, of an average fertility, except for the extreme north-western tip of the town, established in Champeigne "a locality there besides that name", with much more favorable agronomic characteristics.[11]

Waterways
The Indre at Chambourg-sur-Indre.

The municipality of Chambourg-sur-Indre is crossed from south-southeast to north-north-east by the Indre river which cut into the plateau a broad valley about 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide. At the bottom of this valley, and due to its shallow slope, the Indre navigates many bends and oxbow lakes, even forming downstream of the urban core Chambourg-sur-Indre, two separate lakes enclosing an island. Indre is fed with a half-dozen streams originating on the plateau to the left side or in the forest of Loches for the right bank. Their courses are usually perpendicular to that of the Indre, including at their confluence.[12] Floods of the Indre are of the flood plain type,[Note 1] threatening areas of the town built closer to the river.[13]

The Indre is mentioned for the first time by Gregory of Tours in the 6th century under the name fluvium Angerem". This name is often attributed to a change in the Frankish language anger (prairie grass) from the root ang- or 'angr-.[14]

Climate

The geographical location of Chambourg-sur-Indre gives it a temperate ocean climate;[15] The coast at Rochelle is 200 kilometres (120 mi) away "as the crow flies". This type of climate, subject to prevailing westerly flow over the year is characterized by mild temperatures, the average monthly minimum is never below freezing, even in winter, while in summer it is common to have a heatwave for a few days. No month is truly dry, average monthly rainfall is always greater than 40 millimetres (1.6 in).

Around these average values, we sometimes observe substantial differences, having an unsurpassed record 2012; thus the 10 August 2003, during the European heat wave, the maximum temperature was observed 39.8 °C (103.6 °F); the lowest temperature ever recorded in Tours is −18.5 °C (−1.3 °F) on 29 December 1964; a record rainfall of 958 millimetres (37.7 in) was recorded in 1999.[16]

Comparing averages from the thirty stations in Tours[16](given below) appears to highlight a certain level rise of temperatures (minimum, average and maximum) on the three reference periods; the sunshine and precipitation parameters do not change noticeably.[Note 2]

Air travel

A 53 minutes road trip from Chambourg,[17] the Tours Val de Loire Airport in 2014 offered regular services to Ajaccio, Figari, Toulouse, Dublin, London, Marrakech and Porto; other destinations, seasonal or charter, are available.[18]

Rail travel

The people of Chambourg can go to Loches and Tours by train, using the TER Centre line Tours-Loches, accessible by train from the Chambourg train station or by bus, which stops in the center of town according to schedules.[19] Chambourg-sur-Indre offers a parking area for the carpooling, equipped with a charging point for electric vehicles.[Site 1]

Roads

The main road through Chambourg-sur-Indre is the D943 (formerly N143) that crosses the plateau west of the Indre almost right on the 28 kilometres (17 mi) marker separating Tours from Chambourg-sur-Indre; it then descends into the valley of the Indre to join Loches 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Chambourg-sur-Indre; between Cormery and Chambourg-sur-Indre, is joined by D17 after the Indre valley on the left bank and directly serves the center of the town before joining the D943 at the southern end of the town center. It is also possible to go from Loches Chambourg using the D25 along the right bank of the Indre between the Island Thimée (Chambourg) and Corbery (Loches).

City planning

City changes
General view of the town.

The urban center of Chambourg-sur-Indre is grouped around the pole formed by the church and the town hall from the intersection of the D94 (north-east south-east) and D17 (northwest southeast). The site overlooks by 10 metres (33 ft) the left side of the Indre Valley flowing northeast, is immune to flooding.[20] The town has expanded since 1980 as subdivisions are built along new roads, west and east of the town in recent projects, being established more directly in the bottom of the valley of the Indre. To the west of the town is business district. Once having crossed the series of three bridges that cross the D94 to the Indre valley towards the northeast and Chédigny we find Thimée Island, an important hamlet also benefiting from new construction, with the town center hanging somehow on the right bank of the Indre.[Site 2]

Several other villages, mostly located at the foot of the hill on the right bank of the Indre, are experiencing the same level of development. Part of the area situated on the plateau on the right bank of the Indre is much less populated, with the exception of "one-road town" built not far from the castle Marray on a promontory surrounded by the valleys of two parallel streams, tributaries of the left bank of the Indre.[Site 2]

Housing

The table below presents a comparison of housing in Chambourg-sur-Indre and throughout the Indre-et-Loire in 2011, through some indicators:[INSEE 3][INSEE 4]

Housing Information - Chambourg-sur-Indre, 2011
Chambourg-sur-Indre Indre-et-Loire
Portion of Primary Residences (in %) 87.0 88.4
Portion of vacant residences (in %) 5.6 7.1
Share of homeowners (in %) 76.7 58.6

Chambourg-sur-Indre is typically characterized by a proportion of households owning their home being very much higher (+ 31%) than the county average; rental housing represents only 21.9% of primary residences. In 2011, 59.5% of households lived in the town for more than 10 years. Between 1991 and 2008, 101 main residences were built, 97 houses and 4 apartment units, an increase of 19.7%.[INSEE 3]

Second homes account for 7.4% of homes in Chambourg-sur-Indre, a value well above the average of the Indre-et-Loire, which stood at 4.4%.[INSEE 3][INSEE 4]

Recent and future improvements

In 2013, the municipality undertook the burial of electrical networks in many of its streets.[21] On November 24, 2014, a new first response center of firefighters was dedicated.[Site 3]

At its meetings of May and June 2014, the City Council discussed several interesting development projects for urbanism and habitat, such as the construction of a car park and the redevelopment of a Street Chambourg-sur-Indre, preceded by burying electricity and telecommunications networks.[Site 4]

Major natural hazards

On 28 April 2005, the prefecture of Indre-et-Loire adopted a plan to prevent flooding for all municipalities in the Indre department, which includes Chambourg-sur-Indre; accordingly, the land located in the Chambourg extreme flood hazard zone are unsuitable for.[22] A prefectural order dated 29 April 2011 specifies the nature of natural hazards to which Chambourg-sur-Indre is subject;[23] they are of two types: flooding due to an overflow of the Indre or flooding from storm water runoff. The same document details the decrees of acknowledgment of natural disasters made between 1983 and 2011 for the municipality of Chambourg-sur-Indre, two decrees for floods and mudslides (1983 and 1985), two decrees for landslides following a drought (1993 and 2005) and one decree for floods, mudslides and landslides (1999). This paper also indicates that Chambourg-sur-Indre is located in a low risk earthquake zone: level 2 on a scale of 1–5.

The risk of landslides after drought is due to the successive phases of shrinking and swelling clays could undermine the foundations of buildings.[24] All of the plateau of Chambourg-sur-Indre, on both sides of the Indre, is subject to a "medium" or "strong" rating for this risk, while in the valley of the Indre, this risk is considered "lower" or "a priori", according to the scale defined by the (BRGM).[25]

Name origin
Chambourg-sur-Indre on the Cassini map

The place name Chambourg appears for the first time in the founding charter of the abbey of Cormery from 791 as Condita Cambortensis. In the tenth century, villa Cambort was used, Chamborc' ' in the ecclesiastical register of Tours from 1290 or Chambourt in a cartulary of chartreuse du Liget in 1304.[26]

As shown in the older forms, it is kind Gallic name Cambo-ritu, based on two Celtic roots cambo- (curve, bend) and rito, ritu (ford), hence the overall sense of "stepping into the curve" or "ford of the meander".[27][28][26] The etymology continued to change to, among others, Château de Chambord or Chambors (Oise).[29] Indeed, the element ritu- preceded by -o-, has led to a regular termination -or- written variously as -ort (for example Niort, Jort), -ors or -ord. Chambort was reinterpreted Cham-bourg (Cham-town) by analogy with the term bourg (village) in the Middle Ages.
The current spelling appears in the Cassini map; the final name of the town, Chambourg-sur-Indre was fixed by the order of 23 August 1920, the complementary suffix 'sur-Indre' avoiding possible confusion elsewhere with the same name.[Site 5]

The names l'Île Thimée (Thimée Island) and l'Île Auger (Auger Island) refers to a time when these place names, were in the area of the Indre; this is no longer the case in modern times. According to written sources, both spellings "isle" (old spelling) or "île" (modern spelling) are used indiscriminately. In this article, the modern spelling is used.

History

Prehistory and early history

The oldest traces of human presence on the site Chambourg-sur-Indre manifest themselves in the form of a racloir (scraper), a typical tool of Mousterian,[30] found by chance during a survey of soil in the forest of Loches; Neolithic tools were also found.[31] We presume the existence of a Neolithic settlement at a place called "Chatres". The possible origin of the place name in the Gallo-Roman CASTRU (from the Latin castrum "fortified camp") and the layout "limited to a promontory east through the valley of the Indre and north and south by the courts of two of its tributaries streams" (translated) suggest the existence of a promontory fort; however, no excavation has yet verified the validity of this hypothesis.[31]

Antiquity
Pseudo-Roman Bridge at Auger Island.[Note 3]

The Gallo-Roman site at Cornillé, on the left bank of the Indre 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) upstream of the town contains reticulated walls (opus reticulatum) that were still visible at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and a hypocaust (underfloor heating) and the remains of an aqueduct; in 2014 the only remaining portions of walls in basements.[31] This site was perhaps that of a mansio[32] (way station). On the right bank of the Indre, between Corbery (village of Loches) and Auger Island on Chambourg-sur-Indre, D25 follows almost exactly an ancient road[31] which continued in antiquity to Azay-sur-Indre beyond the Thimée Island without leaving the right bank of the Indre.[32] Coins bearing the image of the emperors Nero, who reigned from 54 to 68, and Septimius Severus (193-211) were discovered in the town, on the site of a domus[33] There is a medieval bridge on Auger Island nicknamed "Roman bridge" on many documents (maps [Institut géographique national|National Geographic Institute (IGN)] ] for example) and on the signs.

Middle ages

Chambourg was promoted to the rank of Viguerie in the ninth century;[11] while these honors were often temporary, Chambourg Viguerie, whose existence is supported for more than a century and a half, was an exception, or at least a rarity.[34] At the end of the tenth century early eleventh century, the Count of Anjou and the house of Blois fought over Touraine, snatching and taking each other's territories. No document seems to mention such problems for Chambourg. In the Middle Ages, Chambourg was a fief, subordinate to Castle Bray,[35] which was named at that time, Reignac-sur-Indre in the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries.[36]

From modern day to the Empire

In the seventeenth century, Chambourg was one of eighteen priories subject to the Benedictine Abbey of Cormery.[37] However, the monks of the Beaulieu-lès-Loches Abbey (also Benedictine) collected taxes on

fisheries in Indre, Chambourg to Azay-le-Brûlé (today Azay-sur-Indre) in the amount of 60 pounds.[38]

Also, in the seventeenth century, several titled aristocrats arrived in the area of Chambourg.[39][Site 5] The forest of Loches was considered a rich source of food for it contains game, chestnuts, honey, the firewood and lumber that provides for heating and buioling,[40] and any offense committed against the forest was severely punished; between 1750 and 1790, several residents of the Auger Island and other villages in Chambourg were arrested for illegal logging of 60 oaks in the massive forest of Loches, and of other timber theft.[41]

Until the French Revolution, some hamlets close to the boundary between the parishes of St. Martin and St. Chambourg Michel Chédigny (the parish gathering the inhabitants of the left bank of the Indrois), which hamlets were called "turning and twisting" (translated), that is to say, they were subject to one or the other parish, alternating annually, had at its center, a complex system of financial compensation between the parishes concerned.[42] This ended with the creation of the commune on December 14, 1789 and the delimitation of their territories; these hamlets were then attached permanently to Chambourg, or Chédigny.

Modern day

The creation of the railway line connecting Tours Châteauroux, opened between Joué-lès-Tours and Loches in 1879 with the creation of a stop in Chambourg in 1879[43] can be considered a milestone for the town ; at the time when the rural exodus began to be felt in the villages, it limited the impact to Chambourg allowing the inhabitants of the town to continue to live there, or even to settle in town while working Tours, but especially Loches.[31] This demographic dynamic was reinforced by the installation at the beginning of the 20th century, businesses related to agriculture, mills on the Indre and grain storage silos, the latter taking advantage of the proximity of rail service. These companies gradually disappeared in the second half of the 20th century but were replaced by others, such as a large road sign factory located in Chambourg since 1961 which has more than one hundred employees.[31]

Forty-eight Chambourgeois died in combat during World War I,[44] or about one out of 20.

On June 19, 1940, when German troops were reported in the eastern department, the French army was trying to slow their advance by blowing up the bridges over the Indre, including Chambourg.[45] Between June 22, 1940 and 28 February 1943, the demarcation line ran north–south in the town of Le Château-le-Sec, bordering Chambourg-sur-Indre on the west: Chambourg-sur-Indre was in zone libre (unoccupied territory), but only a few kilometers from the line; the municipality was rejoined on 28 February 1943 to the prefecture of Indre.[46] As early as June 1940, the prefect of Indre replaced the elected mayor by a special delegation of four members who served until October 1944.[47] In the last decade of August 1944, German troops gradually withdrew to the north and east of the department after Loches was recaptured they had to leave for a few days. Their headquarters was temporarily set up in St. Valentin, a hamlet of Chambourg near the municipal boundary with Loches.[48]

Policy and administration

Administration
City Hall

Chambourg-sur-Indre is part of Canton of Loches, which includes twenty towns around Loches, the chief town of the district. It is attached to the arrondissements (district) of Loches and the third electoral district of the Indre-et-Loire, whose MP is Marisol Touraine, Socialist Party since 2012.[49]

Political tendencies and results

The results of the last two presidential elections show an electorate anchored to the left, in a town that has elected a mayor belonging to the French Communist Party between 1995 and 2014; the results of regional elections and the last two parliamentary elections confirm this trend. The incumbent mayor did not seek a fifth term in municipal elections in 2014 which the voting, similar to the municipal elections in 2008, does not bring out a decisive political orientation. The European election results do not lend themselves to analysis with a relatively low participation and voting in one round which promotes the dispersion of votes but for the first time, the electorate middle class nominated National Front candidates at the top of their votes.[Note 2]

Latest presidential elections

In the second round of the presidential elections of 2007, Nicolas Sarkozy, Union for a Popular Movement was elected, obtaining 48.33% of the vote Segolene Royal, Socialist Party, 51.67% of the vote; turnout was 86.56%.[50] In the second round of the presidential elections of 2012, François Hollande, Socialist Party was elected, receiving 52.57% of the vote Nicolas Sarkozy, Union for a Popular Movement, 47.43% of the vote; turnout was 82.57%.[51]

Latest municipal elections

The population at the last census being between 500 and 1499 inhabitants, the number of council members is 15.[52] In the municipal elections of 2008, 15 councilors were elected in the first round; turnout was 66.13%.[53] In the municipal elections of 2014, 15 councilors were elected in the first round, with a participation rate of 56.85%; the only list presented obtained three seats on the community council.[54]

Judicial and administrative bodies

Until late 2009, the people of Chambourg-sur-Indre were within the jurisdiction of the Loches District Court. Since the judicial redistricting on 1 January 2010, Chambourg-sur-Indre was placed in the jurisdiction of the District Court of Tours, except for which is responsible for the entire department. All jurisdictions in Chambourg-sur-Indre are thus grouped in Tours, with the exception of administrative court based in Orléans.[57]

The town is located in the area of gendarmerie of proximity brigade of Loches.[58]

Intercommunal relations

Chambourg-sur-Indre is part of Association for Development of Loches Communes since its inception on December 31, 1995. which includes twenty municipalities with a population of 21,550 of which 6455 inhabit Loches as of 2011.

The inter-community energy union of Indre-et-Loire (SIEIL) provides control and coordination of all dealers operating in the Indre-et-Loire in the field of distribution of gas and electricity; it also focuses on strengthening electricity resourcing and distribution. Founded in 1937, it has gradually evolved in the context of opening energy markets to competition.[59] By prefectural decree dated April 23, 2008, all municipalities in Indre-et-Loire, Tours excepted, each adhere to SIEIL.

A single-purpose intercommunal union (SIVU), to which Chambourg-sur-Indre belongs, as well as 48 other municipalities in the Lochois, supports the transport of high school students between their respective municipalities and public and private secondary schools, open in the scope of this SIVU skills. It is the municipal association of school transport Lochois headquartered at Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu and operates in agreement with a professional carrier.[60]

In 1687, the parish registers indicated that Chambourg had 187 feu fiscal (tax allocation units), then 208 units in 1789, the last known value before the first census in population.[11]

Examination of the pyramid shows a real lack of population in the age group of 15 29 years, men and women, compared to the county average, while the portion 45–59 years is overrepresented.

Demographic change is due, during the period 1982 - 2010, to both natural growth at net migration, both positive; However, if during the decade 1982 -1990 the net migration accounts for the largest share in the increase in population in the first decade of the 21st century, the increase in population is mainly due to natural increase, as shown by the data in the table below.[INSEE 5][Note 19]

Places and monuments

The Napoleonic map reports this bridge as the 'Old Bridge', without reference to its date of construction.[82] There now remains only two arches and four bases.[31]

The church of Chambourg-sur-Indre is one of 3,700 religious buildings in France dedicated to St. Martin.[83] Built in the 11th or 12th centuries, it underwent a major restoration around 1870, but the Romanesque door that opens into the south side of the nave was not altered.

The Grand Marray was the site of a villa mentioned in the cartulary of Cormery in 861[31] and built in the dependent fief of Reignac-sur-Indre, at the time a property of the family Menou[35] which also owned the castle Genillé until the French Revolution.[84] A château was built in the 19th century.

The Chavigny mansion, in the 17th century belonged to a Marshal General of the King's camps and armies. King Louis XI sometimes stayed there.[Note 20] The oldest part of this house, dating from the 15th century, is flanked by a rectangular turret.[31]

  13. The accounting profit is the difference between operating income and expenses.
  14. The need or ability to finance investments is the difference between resources and investment projects; if resources exceed the cost of projects, there is excess financing capacity; higher cost of projects indicates a need for funding.
  15. The "cash flow" is the surplus from operations; This allows the use of surplus to make debt repayments. The surplus (cash flow - debt repayments) in addition to investment income (grants, subsidies, plus capital gains) is used to fund capital expenditures. This amount represents the funding available to the commune
  16. Translator's note: The format for populations pyramids in the French Wikipedia is different from the English (which requires five year increments). The translator invites a willing party to research the population ages in five year increments and a population pyramid similar to the one in the French article.
  17. In the early twenty-first century, the terms of the census were amended by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002, namely "Act of grassroots democracy" on local democracy and in particular Title V "census operations" to allow, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For municipalities with a population greater than 10,000 people, a survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these municipalities is taken into account at the end of the five-year period. Later than the first of 1999 and enrolling in this new legal device population came into force on 1 January 2009 and corresponds to the census of 2006.
  18. In the table and graph of the censuses, by convention in Wikipedia, and to allow a proper comparison between spaced a five-year period censuses, the principle was applied for after 1999 official population of only displaying in the table and graph census populations for the years 2006, 2011, 2016, etc., as well as the latest legal population published by INSEE.
  19. Due to rounding of the first decimal values provided by INSEE, totals may appear inaccurate.
