Let's not lie to ourselves... With their often freezing temperatures and their more than capricious and rainy weather, the winter holidays would especially make us want to sip a hot chocolate by the fire or go skiing in the mountain pastures.
But in Châteauroux, there is no question of letting the gloom of the season get you down! We may not have any ski slopes, unlike our namesake Châteauroux-les-Alpes, but that doesn't matter, we promise you a memorable holiday in the heart of our Berry. Amélie, our guide, has bent over backwards to put together a programme of visits and activities for young and old. And if you want to follow these moments with a family raclette, who would be to say no?
Relive the glorious times of great epics and knights by visiting our Chateau Raoul. Usually closed to the public, our medieval fortress will surprise you with the richness of its history. Also take the opportunity to get to know one of our most famous Castelroussins, General Bertrand, born in this castle in 1773. A visit dedicated to two voices in partnership with the Bertrand museum will teach you everything you need to know about this Illustrious man, unfailing companion of Napoleon I.
Speaking of museums, did you know that we have an exceptional place dedicated to the military memory of Indre, which is so fascinating? Friends of the Martinerie will be happy to welcome you for an exciting visit! As for the association Châteauroux was America She will be happy to open the doors of her small museum dedicated to this almost surreal period during which the city received more than 10 American soldiers!
And what about the children, you might ask? Amélie will be happy to introduce them to the traditions of Carnival before having them make their own mask!
Finally, to never forget that in our country, more than ever, it is the countryside in the city, municipal greenhouses de Châteauroux Métropole will share with you the treasures of their tropical greenhouse and the behind the scenes of the city's flowering. And if you have a green thumb, we hope you'll be tempted to create your own herb garden.
We told you so: in Châteauroux, there is no such thing as boredom and we can make all your desires come true!
