Varen

Romanesque style, the church of St. Peter was built in the eleventh century. Integrated in the defensive system of the town, its facade was once used as a wall. Classified as a Historical Monument, it presents a vessel of pure Romanesque style and a choir decorated with capitals with plant motifs or animals. One can also admire cherubim framing a tree of life and stalls of the seventeenth century.

Walking through this ancient fortified village, it is also possible to enjoy a 15th century castle or an old gate that once belonged to the fortifications and reinforced by a machicolated bretèche in 1621. The site also has beautiful half-timbered houses, and the castle of Pechrodil will seduce you with its exteriors of the seventeenth century.

Appreciated by locals and passing visitors alike, the three-kilometer stretch of water is ideal for fishing, boating or family outings.

Built in the course of the twelfth century, the church of St. Martin Arnac has the distinction of presenting two steeples.

Do not miss the Lexos station built on the model of Austerlitz in Paris in the mid-19th century. It is the work of the Compagnie des Chemins de Fers d'Orleans.
