The construction of the church of Saint-Martin in Chambourg-sur-Indre dates from thr 11th or 12th century. It originally composed of a nave to which was later added two lateral chapels. There is a Romanesque portal, which was retained during the restoration of the building during the 19th century.

The central window of the semi-circular asp depicts the popular scene of Saint-Martin-de-Tours on horseback, dressed as a Roman soldier cutting his cloak in half to share with a beggar.

There is also a pretty circular window in the church.

Where's Joan?, you find her here in her traditional pose but on our visit with the added adornment of a French football scarf - perhaps a legacy of another recent successful campaign
