La Chatre is an old Gallo-Roman town built on a hill. The vestiges of the Roman era can be seen in the old Roman bridge “Pont aux Laies” with the river Indre flowing beneath.

Taking a walk through the lanes in the centre, you will see many traditional shops and some lovely medieval architecture. You can rest awhile in one of the many cafes and enjoy the atmosphere.
