October 7, 2025, Église Saint-Germain de La Châtre

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."

From this road, you can see the Saint Genès church in all its grandeur. Classified as a historic monument since 1862, it is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in Berry, in addition to being particularly imposing. When it was built, between the end of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century, it was dedicated to Saint-Etienne then was finally renamed in the 17th century after Saint-Genès. It has numerous sculpted capitals.

Here is the highest point of the Indre, the Terrier Randoin. It has an altitude of 457m. It belongs to the first northern foothills of the Massif Central. The Fonteny forest extends over the hill.

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.
