The Indre (department 36) in Centre region, in the south of the Loire Valley, is named after its river. The area is known for its beautiful landscape, the writer George Sand, (and her association with Chopin) and its pyramid-shaped goats cheese.
The department covers 6 825 km² with its highest point rising to 459 m at Colline de Fragne and has a population of approximately 238,000.
The Indre is one of the very rural departments of France with life being of a very unhurried nature. Together with its neighbouring department Le Cher (18) they make what was once the former province known as le Berry. Châteauroux is its “Capital” as is almost at the centre of the department. It was founded in 937 by Raoul de Déols who built his castle on the left bank of the river Indre – which meanders through the department and out again to ultimately join the Loire.
The landscape is flatter in the north and generally of rolling gently undulating hills, small fields with hedges (but in the north they tend to be larger with less hedgerows). There are plenty of forested areas and from the higher points it actually seems that the whole countryside is covered in woodland. But there is also, within the Indre, an entirely different landscape known as the Brenne – the country of a thousand lakes - (and water-meadows), home to thousands of wild-fowl birds, flora and fauna.
The department of l’Indre is simply full of charm, mystery and surprises around every corner. There is an abundance of châteaux, beautiful garden, historical ruins, cathedrals and fine churches, and even beaches – yes beaches – here in the centre of France; there are a number of superb lakes offering swimming, watersports and fishing facilities in the area, most of which also have cafés or restaurants.
