Unfortunately, the campsite restaurant/bar is closed outside of peak season. So, we decided to take a short break on the benches.

A small village church with character. It overlooks the Etang de la commune Champillet, where there's also plenty of space and picnic tables for a break.

In the heart of La Châtre stands the Église Saint-Germain. Graceful, but with a past that has literally collapsed. In 1896, the bell tower collapsed, dragging the entire church down with it. What you see now is a rebirth in stone. Step back in the square for a moment, look up at the new tower, and imagine the chaos of that time. Inside, the stained-glass windows bathe the light in warm hues, as if the church itself is trying to say, "I'm here again."

Enter the old fortress of La Chatre and knock on the door of the keep: it now houses a mini-museum (musee de poche) full of manuscripts by George Sand, taxidermy, and documents about the Vallée Noire. Did you know that tickets are deliberately rounded up—any surplus goes towards restoration—and that you'll be walking inside the walls that were once prisons?

This gate, built in the middle of the 15th century, was the entrance to the castle and opened onto the suburbs of the city. It was crossed by a double drawbridge, which spanned a deep moat. The small gate was reserved for pedestrians, the larger one for vehicles and horses. The interior of the enclosure was gradually sold to individuals and residences were built there, so much so that in the 16th century the "new town", as it was called, was located within the castle enclosure. It was not until the 18th century that the moat was filled in. In the following century, the gate was reduced in height, by the removal of the 2nd floor and the machicolations.

A beautiful church with a great statue of St. James

Quiet little campsite with a pool and a good restaurant. I can only recommend it!

Sub-prefecture of Indre, in the 11th century, the town was a feudal castle, seat of a barony of Lower Berry. At the beginning of the 17th century the town became a city of garrisons and magistrates who built beautiful private mansions. In 1737, the former Chauvigny keep became a royal prison.
