On an island in the middle of the Cher stands the Moulin Fort, a mysterious building dating from the 16th century. It was bought by Diane de Poitiers, favourite of King Henri II, and later taken over by Catherine de Médicis. After serving as a tannery mill and falling into ruin, it was restored in 1920 by the Menier family. It is now private property. The route also takes in the Château de Chissay, a medieval royal residence, with river and vineyard paths nearby and the famous Château de Chenonceau close by.
