Culture and History
The Château de l’Isle-Savary was built in the 16th century on an artificial island in the Indre. Its façade is visible from the paths along the Indre and from Clion-sur-Indre’s main bridge.
The Sainte-Colombe Church in Clion-sur-Indre dates from the 11th and 12th centuries and has a Gothic chapel named “De Varye”. The church also houses a stone Pietà from the 15th century. A stained-glass window depicts Saint Columba of Sens standing upright, dressed in antique clothing and beneath an architectural canopy. She is accompanied by a bear and carries a dove and the martyr’s palm as attributes.

The “Mon Herbier Châtillonnais” route is an easy 3.5-kilometre walk. As a walking trail in Clion-sur-Indre, it explores the plant life of hedgerows and country lanes. The route passes through fields and along paths that are mostly lined with centuries-old hedgerows.
A detour from the route to the Ruisseau de Murs stream provides an opportunity to discover plants from wetland or aquatic habitats.
