The Couvent des Cordeliers is a former Franciscan convent on Place Sainte-Hélène in Châteauroux. Its church has a steep pitched roof of reddish-brown tiles and a front gable with a large pointed-arch window divided by stone tracery. The light-stone side wall holds two tall narrow pointed-arch windows, a small arched doorway with a wooden door, and a larger walled-up pointed arch.

The convent is a former 13th-century Franciscan foundation on Place Sainte-Hélène in Châteauroux. The former Cordeliers church was classified as a monument historique by decree on 29 November 1932. On 8 August 2013, all built elements except the already classified church, along with the grounds within the convent enclosure, were inscribed as monuments historiques.

The convent now hosts contemporary art exhibitions and the International Ceramics Biennial within its converted medieval spaces. Visitors can experience modern artistic practice displayed inside centuries-old rooms, creating a dialogue between past and present.

The gardens remain open day and night throughout the year, while interior spaces are available only during scheduled exhibitions and guided tours. Plan your visit according to the exhibition calendar to experience the changing displays and special events like the ceramics biennial.
