1 - Departure Point : Musée St Roch

2 - Rue Daridan : the house where Fr. CHEVALIER spent the last months of his life and where he died.

3 - Site of the former presbytery. In 1907 it became the Issoudun Museum.

4 - The Church of St Cyr rebuilt by Fr. CHEVALIER when he became parish priest of Issoudun in 1872.

5 - Below the sous-prefecture, originally part of the old ramparts but now the presbytery.

6 - The former Visitation Convent, which became the residence of Mr. de BONNEVAL, the great benefactor of Fr. CHEVALIER.
