Chambon (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃bɔ̃] ) is a commune in the Cher department in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.
The town was a part of the canton of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher; in 2015, following the redistribution of the cantons of the department, it became a part of the canton of Trouy. [3]
Chambon is a rural commune. [4] It is a part of the municipalities with little or very little density, within the meaning of the municipal density grid of INSEE. [5] [6]
In addition, the municipality is part of the attraction area of Saint-Amand-Montrond, of which it is a municipality in the crown. This area, which includes 36 municipalities, is categorized into areas with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants. [7] [8]
The zoning of the municipality, as reflected in the database European occupation biophysical soil Corine Land Cover (CLC), is marked by the importance of the agricultural land (89.5% in 2018), a proportion roughly equivalent to that of 1990 (89.4%). The detailed breakdown in 2018 is as follows: [9]
