Saint-Benoît-du-Sault (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ bənwa dy so] ⓘ; Occitan: Sent Benet de Saul) is a commune in the Indre department in central France.

[3] It is a medieval village, perched in a curve on a rocky butte overlooking the Portefeuille River in the former province of Berry.

Two dolmens (Passebonneau and des Gorces) near to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault attest to the ancientness of human presence, if not of the Bituriges.

Ten centuries later, in 974, some benedictine monks of Sacierges-Saint-Martin took refuge on a granite spur, where they founded a priory: Salis, future Saint-Benoît-du-Sault.

From the 10th to the 17th century, the history of the priory and the new village is made up of resistance to the possessive desires of feudal neighbours, such as the Limoges and de Brosse family.
