Châteauroux features architectural heritage reflecting its medieval and religious past. The Château Raoul, a 10th-century fortress located on the heights above the Indre river, is next to the Cordeliers Convent, a 13th-century Franciscan building now used for contemporary art exhibitions. History enthusiasts will also enjoy the Hôtel Bertrand Museum, the former residence of General Bertrand with Napoleonic collections, and the US Air Force Museum, which traces American military presence in the city between 1951 and 1967. The city combines this historic heritage with leisure spaces accessible to families. The Belle Isle Leisure Base spans 18 hectares around a pond and features sports fields and playgrounds. The Public Garden, a four-hectare park in the city center, offers flowering lawns and shaded areas. The 19th-century market halls host a market where local products and specialties are showcased. Between Roman monuments like the Saint-André Church from the 12th century and modern recreational facilities, Châteauroux invites exploration of different facets of Berry.
