October 9, 2025, Église Saint-Pierre

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."

February 10, 2025, Étang de la Villette

The Villette pond is a pretty body of water of about 50 hectares. You can discover it by taking the path that borders it on the north side and take a short break to admire many species of birds such as ducks, herons, kingfishers and perhaps even swans, especially in winter. Unfortunately, there are no other paths to go all the way around it. So I head back towards La Châtre via the very pleasant little Duriaux road.

Near Sainte-Sévère, a pretty little road will take you to the Moulin Vieux, then to the Moulin Gras from where you can reach the Retord mill either by taking the footbridge over the ford then a path or by continuing the road towards the places called Chassières (be careful, it's a climb!), La Paire, Les Granges.
