Tips from the Community
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."
