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.
