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

Sub-prefecture of Indre, in the 11th century, the town was a feudal castle, seat of a barony of Lower Berry. At the beginning of the 17th century the town became a city of garrisons and magistrates who built beautiful private mansions. In 1737, the former Chauvigny keep became a royal prison.

Nice castle, which you can visit on your own with a description in the language of your choice. A bit bizarre because you come across all kinds of things, but definitely worth it. Entrance fee adult: 7 euros p.p. There are a number of walking routes near the church: 4, 7, 14, 20 km long. The one from 14 is a beautiful route around the village.
