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.

The writer George Sand places his novel The Master Bell Ringers there. 12th century castle: the castle is first mentioned in 1102, by the mention of a visit by the Archbishop of Bourges Léodegaire.

The castle is surrounded by a moat and was built in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries on the remains of an earlier fortress, of which only the 13th century keep remains. The castle was used as a fortress by the English during the Hundred Years War.
