Châteauroux

Highlight • Castle

Chateauroux is a medieval city that takes its name from a nobleman, named Raoul le Large, who had a castle built on the banks of the Indre. Over the centuries, the name changed from Château Raoul to Chateauroux.
This historic town is also home to a Cluniac abbey founded in 917, the surroundings of which can be visited by canoe.

Raoul Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.
