Palluau-sur-Indre is a medieval town at the crossroads of the Route des Dames de Touraine and the Route des Plantagenêts. This village has fewer than 800 inhabitants but is home to a feudal castle from the 11th century and several houses from the 15th.

The castle complex at Châtillon-sur-Indre includes numerous protected elements, including the Place du Vieux-Château. The castle played an important role in the struggles between Henry II of England and Philip Augustus. Henry II had a powerful fortress built between 1160 and 1185 (of which the slightly conical keep still remains today), which can be seen from afar as one approaches the town.

The Church of Saint-Genou is a perfect example of Romanesque architecture in the region. Note during the visit, the beautifully carved architectural sculptures inside and outside.

Saint-Genou Abbey was built in the 12th century and has been listed as a historical monument since 1862.
