What to do during a weekend in Châteauroux?
Just 2.5 hours from Paris, Châteauroux is an ideal weekend destination.
Whether you are with family, friends or a couple, there are many attractions throughout the year.
Take the time to discover the Indre through its heritage, walks and gastronomy.
Start your visit with the cobbled streets of the historic center of the city, around the hotel.
Head to the Porte Saint-Martin before continuing to Place Monestier and its covered market.
Then admire the Saint-Martial church and the 15th century houses along Rue Descente-de-ville as well as the Notre-Dame church with its copper statue of the Virgin.
In the afternoon, follow the banks of the Indre to Parc Balsan, a green setting in the city. You will find a magnificent castle and playgrounds there.
Then stroll peacefully through the flower garden of the former Cordeliers convent.
The Château Raoul has dominated the city since the 10th century. Witness to more than 1,000 years of history, you can book guided tours there to discover all its secrets.
The Bertrand Museum, meanwhile, houses the former home of General Henri-Gatien Bertrand, Napoleon's faithful companion in exile on Saint Helena.
You can discover many souvenirs and relics from the Empire period, as well as 19th-century collections and sculptures by Ernest Nivet.
It's impossible to miss out on the local culinary specialties during your weekend.
Start with the pâté berrichon, a meatloaf filled with pork and veal stuffing. Hot or cold, it can be enjoyed all year round.
Another monument of Berry gastronomy to try: potato pancakes made from mashed potatoes, butter and faisselle.
A classic that should please everyone!
Finally, for dessert, the Poirat du Berry (pear pie) will awaken your taste buds as will the tarte aux barriaux (prune tart).
To make the most of your weekend, book a double room in our 4-star hotel in the city center of Châteauroux.
You will find all the necessary comfort to visit the city on foot. Ideally located next to the train station, you will be able to quickly access all the tourist sites while being in a quiet area.
Make yourself comfortable in one of the 72 modern and cozy equipped rooms or opt for our junior and duplex suites.
In the morning, start your day with a delicious breakfast with an all-you-can-eat buffet or express formula.
