October 14, 2025, Château Raoul

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.

Beautiful city with many impressive buildings. Be sure to check out the Jardins Public – they're gorgeous.

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.

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

Known for its beach and swimming area, Bellebouche Pond is one of the largest and most beautiful bodies of water in Brenne. The pond is part of a larger site covering a total of 300 hectares of meadows, moors, wasteland, and woods. Three observatories located at the end of the pond and guided excursions allow visitors to discover its natural treasures. The observatory located to the east is recommended for the morning, and the observatories located to the west are recommended for the afternoon. Guided activities are offered seasonally (calendar available upon request). For information: +33 2 54 38 28 28

This pond is 3 km long. Its water is quite transparent. There is a sandy beach (unsupervised) where you can get into the water and swim.
