In the heart of La Châtre stands the Église Saint-Germain. Graceful, but with a past that has literally collapsed. In 1896, the bell tower collapsed, dragging the entire church down with it. What you see now is a rebirth in stone. Step back in the square for a moment, look up at the new tower, and imagine the chaos of that time. Inside, the stained-glass windows bathe the light in warm hues, as if the church itself is trying to say, "I'm here again."

Very beautiful viewpoint and an emblematic castle of the region

The Villette pond is a pretty body of water of about 50 hectares. You can discover it by taking the path that borders it on the north side and take a short break to admire many species of birds such as ducks, herons, kingfishers and perhaps even swans, especially in winter. Unfortunately, there are no other paths to go all the way around it. So I head back towards La Châtre via the very pleasant little Duriaux road.

An imposing 15th century medieval castle, which withstood the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion, as well as the Revolution, it was saved from ruin by its current owner in 1982. This castle was the setting for George Sand's novel "The Miller of Angibault" under the name of Château de Blanchemont.

A truly impressive complex. Very well preserved and restored. You can visit the castle for a small fee. It is definitely worth it. Just for the view from the top floor

Interesting eye-catcher when you drive along the road. At first glance it reminds you a little of Pippi Longstocking
