Located in the heart of the ancient province of Berry, the Indre offers nature and heritage lovers a wonderful range of discoveries. The Indre conceals castles that are little known, yet admirably well preserved. The result is masterpieces such as the Raoul castle in Châteauroux, the Bouges castle in Bouges-le-Château or the majestic Saint-André church in Châteauroux. The prefecture has more than fifteen protected monuments that you must see before leaving the department. To this we should quickly add theFontgombault abbey, the Champagne gate in Levroux, the castle of La Ferté... and many others that deserve a look! The Indre is also famous for its historical jewels such as the George Sand estate where the famous writer lived or the Valencay castle, former property of Talleyrand who was Napoleon's minister.

When to go to Indre?

When to go ? All year round you can go for a walk in the superb regional natural park of the Brenne with its extraordinary mosaic of landscapes between woods, ponds and meadows, wild places where more than 250 nature activities, on foot or by bike, are possible, in particular numerous naturalist walks. The natural heritage of the Indre is also the Loire, the longest river in France with its 1,013 kilometers. In the summertime, you can canoe or cycle along it or observe the endemic fauna and flora, including many beavers and rare birds. Located in the heart of France, on the edge of the Massif Central and not far from the castles of the Loire, the Indre has both cultural treasures and unspoiled nature to visit all year round.
