Introduction
Class B license in Aubigny-sur-Nère : driving school, exam and financial aid
Aubigny-sur-Nere, a small rural town of 5,451 inhabitants in Cher (18) in Centre-Val de Loire, known as the Stuarts' city, combines Sologne forest roads with a compact historic centre for driving license learning. D940 roundabouts and forest tracks complete the range.
Local driving conditions
Driving in Aubigny-sur-Nère : road environment and local specifics
Taking the driving test in Aubigny-sur-Nère means adapting to a small rural Cher town of around 5,450 inhabitants, at the heart of the Berry Sancerrois, on the edge of the Sologne. The commune belongs to the Centre-Val de Loire region and to department 18, whose prefecture is Bourges, 50 km to the south. Aubigny is known as the "City of the Stuarts", a legacy of its historical link with Scotland, and its medieval centre around the castle and Saint-Martin church remains a tourist attraction. Category B candidates drive through a mix of narrow cobbled town-centre streets, residential suburbs and open countryside from the moment they leave the town.
The main road axis around Aubigny is the RD940, linking Bourges to Gien via Aubigny and structuring the north-south crossing of the department. The RD89 towards Vailly-sur-Sauldre and the Sologne, as well as the RD13 towards Argent-sur-Sauldre, complete a typically rural network of narrow departmental roads lined with woods and ponds. The A77 (Stuarts motorway) runs about thirty kilometres to the east near Gien, and the A71 bypasses the department to the west, making motorway access dependent on long stretches of departmental driving before merging.
The Cher department posts a category B pass rate of 64.9% in 2024 (source ONISR / Road Safety 2024, aggregation of 28 schools, 3,784 presentations dept 18), above the national average of 58%. Candidates from Aubigny usually take their exam in Bourges or at a peripheral departmental centre. Rural exam routes alternate between village crossings, driving at 80 km/h on narrow RDs, crossings with agricultural machinery and forest sections in the Sologne, which require constant vigilance for wildlife (roe deer, wild boar).
The temperate continental climate of Berry adds a seasonal dimension to training. Winters bring persistent fog at the bottom of the Nère valley and the Étang de la Vallée, occasionally black ice on rarely salted forest roads, and autumns bring damp leaf-covered surfaces. The surrounding rural context, with crossings through villages such as Sainte-Montaine or Brinon-sur-Sauldre, its tractors and narrow roads, shapes preparation for the highway code in Cher and the practical category B exam.

Where to take the practical test from Aubigny-sur-Nère
