La Guerche

La Guerche offers a perfect blend of history, rural tranquility and access to the natural beauty of Touraine. Its castle dramatically overlooks the river Creuse, while its preserved village lanes and heritage feel offer peaceful charm. Whether you're cycling along the river or stepping back in time inside the château, La Guerche invites a serene yet enriching escape.

We have taken the tour and if you are staying in the area we would recommend a short stroll around the village itself followed by a visit to the chateau.

As you walk the narrow streets of the village you get the feeling that not a lot has changed in the last hundred years as it still retains its charm.

You will find some interesting half-timbered houses and doors that look as if they have been there forever.

There are some very interesting terraced houses around the village.

 

The village also has Romanesque church, Saint-Marcellin, dating from around the 11th century.

 

Although it's a a small village it has an active community with events throughout the year, with annual fetes and brocante plus entertainment during the summer months at the village's open air 'Taverne'.
