In the heart of La Châtre stands a beautifully preserved half-timbered house that immediately stands out among the other facades. Stop by during your stroll through the town center: the house is situated at a junction of narrow streets and adds a touch of history to your walk. A great photo opportunity!

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."

It's impressive to walk under and along this viaduct. You suddenly feel very small.

At the exit of Saint Denis de Jouhet, stands a very strange old brick chimney 15 meters high! At the foot, you can see a building that housed coal-powered pumps that were used to pump water drawn from the stream below to the station located less than 1 km away. The water thus arrived at the water tower of the "Jouhet" station and was used to power the steam engines. On old postcards, you can see the chimney and the roof of the building in their environment at the time as well as the station opened on July 1, 1906 on the line from La Châtre to Guéret.

On the road between Tranzault and Fougerolles, you can discover this pretty, renovated and maintained dovecote in the middle of the fields. It was part of the feudal Château de Fromenteau (15th century), of which nothing remains, and has around 1,400 niches.
