St Germain is quite residential and not particularly oriented around tourisme. It's pleasant enough, though, and the surrounding countryside is lovely.
There are a couple of decent cafés along with the shops.
The large stone, neo-Gothic church was built in 1889. The bell is 3 centuries older, from 1585.
