15th-century dovecote

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.

You are here, at the highest point in the Cher department and the Centre-Val de Loire region. It rises to an altitude of 504 meters. The roads leading there are quiet and peaceful.

Near Saint-Priest-La-Marche, at a place called Beddes in Cher (18) at an altitude of 454 m, discover the source of the Indre river which crosses the department of the same name (36) passing through the towns of Sainte Sévère, La Châtre, Ardentes, Châteauroux (prefecture), Buzançais. It is a tributary of the Loire.

On the road between Tranzault and Fougerolles, you can discover this pretty, renovated and maintained dovecote in the middle of the fields. It was part of the feudal Château de Fromenteau (15th century), of which nothing remains, and has around 1,400 niches.

A very impressive ruin. It shows the power that emanates from here
