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."

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

Château very representative of French classicism whose construction was completed in 1660 under the orders of François le Vau, architect of the King's buildings and member of the Royal Academy of Architecture. It is a private property which cannot be visited and is today in a worrying state of disrepair.

A small pond in the forest. There is a lot of vegetation, so swimming can be complicated. It's a great place for a picnic, you can find shade on the shore.
