The Sainte-Madeleine church in Jalognes is a Catholic religious building located in the Cher department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. It was built in the 12th century, but was completely rebuilt and enlarged by the architect Charles Guillard in 1864, incorporating part of the 12th century nave. The church is built of limestone rubble and consists of a barrel-vaulted apse chapel, closed by a cul-de-four vault, a barrel-vaulted nave and aisles, with doubleaux for the central nave, and a choir surrounded by an ambulatory. Arcades, supported by columns with capitals sculpted with foliage, separate the three naves. The interior of the church is also remarkable. You can admire decorative elements such as sculptures, paintings and stained glass windows. The choir is decorated with a gilded wooden altarpiece, which represents the life of Saint Madeleine. The Sainte-Madeleine church is a place of worship, but it is also a very interesting place to visit for history and architecture lovers. It is open to the public every day of the week, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you are passing through the region, do not hesitate to come and discover it!

Much easier in the direction of descent because you only have to concentrate on the trajectory and therefore the balance. Foot !

If you are a ceramist or an enlightened pottery lover, La Borne will surely mean something to you. Indeed, this village is a mecca for ceramic creation in France and internationally. La Borne being close to a large sandstone deposit, there are traces of this activity since the 12th century and it has continued to develop over time. In the 15th century, potters acquired mastery of cooking local clay. In the 17th century, the creation of the town of Henrichemont increased demand and concentrated the workshops in the hamlet, halfway between the quarries and the town. Then in the 19th century, at its peak, 21 workshops operated there. Unlike many pottery villages, La Borne has been able to resist the new materials of the 20th century with the revival of pottery in the form of art. Today, nearly 80 craftsmen and artists of twelve different nationalities work in the surrounding area and there are two museums in the village. In the former Saint-Jean-Baptiste chapel, the Pottery Museum was created with a rather traditional and historical approach and in which we find works by renowned potters such as the Talbot family, Vassil Ivanoff and Jean Linard. Then you will find the La Borne Contemporary Ceramic Center which has occupied the village's former girls' school since 1971 as well as a glass gallery more than 600 meters long inaugurated in 2010. Every year around October you can participate in the Grands Feux, an event allowing you to discover how the hamlet's wood-fired ovens work.

A pretty path going up in the direction of Henrichemont/La Borne with some slopes and roots to make things a bit more difficult when it's wet!

Stop at the mill, the traditional oil mill, very warm welcome and you can have a drink in the fridge

Stone at the beginning of the climb between thorns then marked ruts before ending on an easier path.

Dating from the 12th century, the castle of Pesselières is of Medieval type and includes a remarkable park. Indeed, the French-style garden consists of a 300-meter-long three-hundred-year-old boxwood alley, a channel fed by two sources. A hundred trees of remarkable species were planted in 2009, and the park received the Remarkable Garden label in 2013. The castle can be visited for € 8.
