Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Castle
Valençay Castle
Valençay Castle is distinguished by its strong architecture and the fluidity of its perspectives between wings and gardens. The place explores by changing angle: large axis, secondary detour, back on a detail. The oblique light highlights the depth of the volumes and the thickness of the park.
Castle
Château de Bouges
The Château de Bouges offers a classic and sensitive reading experience: composition of the building, continuity of courses, decorative details that open at the detour of a corridor. Taking the time to survey the exteriors and then the interior, one better understands its relationship to the surrounding landscape.
Village
Levroux
Levroux It attracts its compact urban lines and its neighborhood rhythms, where local usages are well distinguished from the first streets. A short but regular exploration offers a clear view of the place: squares, facades, traffic, peripheral views. The local character is really read on foot.
