Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela, the Basilica of Saint-Etienne is distinguished by its rotunda inspired by the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

With its five towers and moat, Château de Sarzay seems like something straight out of a fairytale. This 15th-century fortress was originally built to protect the village and is one of the best-preserved castles in the Berry region.

Walk past this medieval castle and notice the contrast: a high keep with machicolations and details like coats of arms and an ornate tympanum above a door. Imagine it once being defended, while its inhabitants still sought comfort. And if you walk past it at dusk, the silhouettes of the towers and nature make it almost poetic.

nice to visit

15th-century dovecote

Very beautiful viewpoint and an emblematic castle of the region

At the exit of Saint Denis de Jouhet, stands a very strange old brick chimney 15 meters high! At the foot, you can see a building that housed coal-powered pumps that were used to pump water drawn from the stream below to the station located less than 1 km away. The water thus arrived at the water tower of the "Jouhet" station and was used to power the steam engines. On old postcards, you can see the chimney and the roof of the building in their environment at the time as well as the station opened on July 1, 1906 on the line from La Châtre to Guéret.

An imposing 15th century medieval castle, which withstood the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion, as well as the Revolution, it was saved from ruin by its current owner in 1982. This castle was the setting for George Sand's novel "The Miller of Angibault" under the name of Château de Blanchemont.
