September 13, 2025, Point de vue du Château de la Tour

Château de la Tour is a true gem. From the bridge over the Creuse River, you have a beautiful view of the water and, of course, the château.

From the bridge over the Creuse River in Saint-Gaultier, you have a beautiful view of the priory with the Église Saint-Gaultier (also called Église Saint-Gaultier et son priory). The complex: Originating in the 11th–12th century, built by the Benedictines. It consisted of the church and the adjacent monastery/prieuré. The towers and buildings you see are partly part of the later college that was built against the old priory. The complex offers a magnificent view of the Creuse, making it such a photogenic spot from the bridge.

A beautiful (quiet) walking route with a rest area with a bench about halfway along, where we were joined by donkeys. Part of the route crosses and follows the Creuse River. Beautiful views, with several benches and picnic tables along the river.

Superb panoramic view of the river and the town of Thenay. This place is on the bike path, so you can stop, get off the bike and take a photo.
