Above the Indre River stands the castle that gave the entire town its name. Once, in the 10th century, a wooden fortress belonging to the lords of Déols stood here. In the 12th century, Raoul le Large had it rebuilt in stone—and ever since, it bears his name: Château-Raoul. From that castle, the town's name, Châteauroux, evolved.

A peaceful medieval monastery with simple architecture, beautiful terraced gardens, and views of the city and river. A wonderful stop on your walk to pause, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy the history and greenery together.

Located in Châteauroux, Château Raoul is a historic gem dating back to the 14th century. It is surrounded by magnificent gardens and offers breathtaking views of the Indre. Recently renovated, it hosts cultural events and guided tours.

Châteauroux is a medieval town named after a nobleman, Raoul le Large, who built a castle on the banks of the Indre River. Over the centuries, the name Château Raoul evolved into Châteauroux. This historic town is also home to a Cluniac abbey founded in 917, whose grounds can be explored by canoe.

The Cordeliers de Châteauroux convent was founded in the 13th century by religious mendicants. Destroyed in the 16th century, the convent was not restored until 1975.

Do not take the walk after a wet period. A large part of the paths is heavily flooded.
