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

From this road, you can see the Saint Genès church in all its grandeur. Classified as a historic monument since 1862, it is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in Berry, in addition to being particularly imposing. When it was built, between the end of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century, it was dedicated to Saint-Etienne then was finally renamed in the 17th century after Saint-Genès. It has numerous sculpted capitals.

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.
