La Châtre
A small town in the Indre department of central France, La Châtre sits along the River Indre and holds a notable concentration of listed historic buildings, including a castle now housing the Musée George Sand et de la Vallée Noire, a Gothic well, a timber-framed house known as the Maison Rouge, and the former Carmelite convent. The Chapelle-fontaine Sainte-Radegonde and an Auberge de Notre-Dame round out a heritage-dense centre worth a half-day's exploration.
