The bridge takes its distorted name from the Escabignat family, rich burghers who made a donation towards the development of the bridge. On either side, wooden houses can be seen, former tanneries with drying areas extending over the river Indre. The proximity of water made it possible to soak the hides which, after numerous stages, were put in attics to dry. The ise of the leather indsutry in the region developed significantly, and in 1811, there were 18 tanneries in La Châtre, the greatest concentration of this trade in the region. They closed, along with numerous mills along the river, one after another at the end of the 19th century.

Long ago, the Grand'Font was delicated to Our Lady but popular belief later shifted to the worship of Sainte-Radegonde (521-587). Documented in the archives as early as the 15th century, this miraculous source initially spouted directly from the rock before being rebuilt on its present site during the Second Empire. Pregnant women used to have candles lit here for a successful delivery.

Here stood the castle built in c.1424, residence of the Chauvigny family, seigneurs of La Châtre. There only remains the keep which is 20 metres high and whose walls, cut with arrow-slits, are 2 metres thick. The tower was used as a prison from 1734 until 1937, when the building was acquired by Jean Despruneaux to house his collection of souvenirs of George Sand and her friends. In 1939, the ornithological collection of the municipal museum was moved here, and in 1954, for the 150th anniversary of her birth, it was renamed the George Sand and Black Valley Museum. In 1966 it was donated to the town of La Châtre by Jean Despruneaux.

George Sand found refuge in this house during the separation from her husband Baron Casimir Dudevant in 1836. On 25th May, she wrote to her friend Marie d’Agoult: “a garden full of roses, four fathoms square, and a spacious terrace large enough to take ten steps, serve me as drawing room, as study… I am writing a new chapter for Léila”.

This picturesque quarter is the oldest working district in the town. It takes its name from the little wall on which children used to play. It was here in 1943 that the three underground resistance movements - "Combat", "Libération" and "Franc-Tireur" amalgamated under the initials M.U.R (United Movements of Resistance) and worked secretly in the shadows until the intervention of the Gestapo in 1944. The independent district of the P'tit Mur was created in 1978 by a group of friends, and a climbing vine of freedom has been maintained ever since.

Henri de Latouche, journalist, legal reporter, poet, author and founder of the newspaper "Le Figaro", lived in this house. A man of letters, he championed a number of authors such as André Chénier, Honoré de Balzac and George Sand. He died in 1851 and a stele, made of granite from Crevant, pays tribute to him in the gardens of the Town Hall. Between 1857 et 1872 this property became the "sous-préfecture" of La Châtre and today it houses the presbytery.

This medieval bridge with two arches is a listed building located on the site of a former Roman Road. Its etymology and orthography remain obscure: Pontaulais, Pont au legs, Pont aux laies.
