Indre is a gentle, pastoral department in central France, rich in rural charm, history, and artistic legacy. Known as part of the old province of Berry, it offers quiet lanes, traditional markets, and literary heritage.

​

The capital, Châteauroux, is a low-key but pleasant town with leafy boulevards, museums, and riverside walks. Other notable spots include Issoudun, Argenton-sur-Creuse, and La Châtre, close to the former estate of novelist George Sand.

​

The Brenne Regional Natural Park, with its thousands of lakes and birdlife, is a haven for nature lovers. Castles like Valençay, villages like Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, and unspoiled countryside make this a place for reflection and simplicity.

​

Homes here are often affordable, including stone-built farmhouses, village homes, and larger rural estates with outbuildings and land. It’s ideal for those seeking a quiet life with rich traditions and space to breathe.
