I wasn't supposed to get here, but I recommend stopping by. In summer, the lake invites you to jump in, but the reason for my stop was my stomach. Top quality/price ratio at: "Les Saveurs de Brenne".

Very good Gravel route with a first part engaged due to the humid spring weather conditions. (Mud, tall grass, rus become streams to cross. A single track on the Alienor trail which is super nice. Ultimately few roads. Two closed passages which we easily bypassed.

The La Forge Inn is located in a very beautiful location. In fine weather, the terrace is open to you in the garden and allows you to enjoy the shaded and flowered arbors. The Auberge promotes local products. There is also a restaurant open every day except Monday and Tuesday. More information here: https://www.indreavelo.fr/fr/restaurants/auberge-la-forge/

Located on a small height which offers a very extensive view of the valley, the castle is made up of two buildings at right angles with several turrets. With the exception of a few buttresses, the traces of fortifications still visible at the beginning of the 17th century have now disappeared.
