A small village church with character. It overlooks the Etang de la commune Champillet, where there's also plenty of space and picnic tables for a break.

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

This gate, built in the middle of the 15th century, was the entrance to the castle and opened onto the suburbs of the city. It was crossed by a double drawbridge, which spanned a deep moat. The small gate was reserved for pedestrians, the larger one for vehicles and horses. The interior of the enclosure was gradually sold to individuals and residences were built there, so much so that in the 16th century the "new town", as it was called, was located within the castle enclosure. It was not until the 18th century that the moat was filled in. In the following century, the gate was reduced in height, by the removal of the 2nd floor and the machicolations.

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.
