Sorigny (French pronunciation: [sɔʁiɲi] ) is a French commune in the Indre-et-Loire department, Centre-Val de Loire.
Sorigny has been twinned with the village of Box, in Wiltshire, Great Britain, since 2016.
It is a parish that was confirmed in March 1031 by a charter of Robert II of France. It was formerly divided into two fiefs.
The municipal hydrographic network, with a total length of 31.09 km, includes two notable rivers, the Bourdin (3.075 km) and the Montison (2.731 km), and ten small rivers that flow at certain times.
The Bourdin, with a total length of 14.8 km, rises in the commune of Louans and flows into the Indre at Veigné after crossing five communes.
Transport in Sorigny is managed by the Centre-Val de Loire region and trains are operated by Transdev Touraine on the Rémi rail network. There are links between Tours and Sorigny via lines G, H, H1 and H2.
In 2018, the commune planned to establish a "brand village" on 20 hectares of its territory, near the A10 autoroute. Sorigny belongs to the Touraine Indre Valley community of towns (Communauté de communes Touraine Vallée de l'Indre).
