Tips from the Community

October 7, 2025, Église Saint-Germain de La Châtre

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."

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

Sub-prefecture of Indre, in the 11th century, the town was a feudal castle, seat of a barony of Lower Berry. At the beginning of the 17th century the town became a city of garrisons and magistrates who built beautiful private mansions. In 1737, the former Chauvigny keep became a royal prison.

Nice castle, which you can visit on your own with a description in the language of your choice. A bit bizarre because you come across all kinds of things, but definitely worth it. Entrance fee adult: 7 euros p.p. There are a number of walking routes near the church: 4, 7, 14, 20 km long. The one from 14 is a beautiful route around the village.
