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.

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."

In the Creuse valley lies the picturesque village of Gargilesse-Dampierre. The village is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. And I can see why: the romantic charm of the closely packed houses with their steep, brown-tiled roofs, which surround the castle. Truly artistic, picturesque, and charismatic. It's wonderful to take a walk in this area and have a drink at one of the restaurants. Especially the restaurant at the top, where you have a magnificent view of the village and the castle.

nice to visit

Very beautiful viewpoint and an emblematic castle of the region

Nice little body of water, ideal for a picnic break 🙃

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.
