Come and discover this commune crossed by two rivers: the Quintaine and the Brenne. You will be able to immerse yourself in the history of this commune thanks to its well preserved heritage, which has left many pieces of the past behind.
Originally the nave was less wide than the present one, which explains the location of the porch, shifted to the left. In the 17th century the nave was enlarged and a chapel was built near the choir. In the 19th century a fire destroyed the altar. The church was completely restored, but the bell tower was destroyed in 1899 because it was in danger of collapsing. The church bell is now inside.The stained glass windows are from the Lobin workshop of Tours, the oldest window represents Saint-Gatien, the first Bishop of Tours in the 3rd century and in the chapel to the right, Saint Elisabeth.
A flour mill in the course of restoration for electric production and to be put back in function for milling. Wheel type ZUPPINGER 6 meters in diameter, 2 meters wide visible from the path (GR655, and Saint Jacques de Compostelle) that spans the Brenne.
