The small town of Indre can be proud of having received all the top French artists. The old feudal fortress of the 15th century, of which only the towers remain, has been listed as a historical monument since 1952. Vestibule, staircase, living room, kitchens, Aurore de Saxe’s room, blue room, study and boudoir are preserved in the same way as in George Sand’s time.
