Hidden away now and only accessible as a guest in this refurbished mill gite, the best way to see this charming mill is to take a short walk off the beaten track and enjoy some quiet time on the banks of the river. Indre.

A relaxing break on this bridge to enjoy the calm of the Indre.

This Renaissance castle, the Château de Saché, was a privileged place of inspiration for Honoré de Balzac, who set his novel "Le Lys dans la vallée" in the heart of the Indre valley. The castle also houses the Balzac museum.
