Montrichard (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃tʁiʃaʁ]) is a town and former commune in the Loir-et-Cher department, Centre-Val de Loire, France.

[2] On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Montrichard Val de Cher.

Montrichard is pronounced French pronunciation: [mɔ̃tʁiʃaʁ], with a T sound, despite its silence in the word mont and similar place names such as Montréal.

One of the explanations that may justify the pronunciation of the T is that Montrichard is derived from the words mont (mountain, hill), tri (for three) and chard (square), because the town is situated on a hill surrounded on three sides by square towers.

The exterior shots of the town, however, were filmed in the Place Royale in the lower town of Quebec City, Canada, which is identifiable by the presence of the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church.
