Indre, French department in Centre-Val de Loire, France
The Indre department spans across 6791 square kilometers of varied terrain, including agricultural plains, forests, and river valleys in central France.
Created during the French Revolution in 1790, Indre emerged from the former province of Berry, with Châteauroux designated as its administrative center.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions through local markets, farming practices, and seasonal festivals that highlight regional produce and crafts.
The department consists of four administrative districts: Le Blanc, Châteauroux, La Châtre, and Issoudun, each managing local governmental services.
Indre contains numerous water bodies, including 500 ponds in the Brenne area, forming a natural network that supports diverse wildlife populations.
