Here, along the banks of the river, is the La Prairie Saint-Gilda nature reserve, which is home to some of France's most unique flora and fauna. The town also has a rich architectural heritage, with some buildings dating back to medieval times. To the south of the town is the Foret de Chateauroux and the magnificent village of Ardentes. To the west is the Brenne regional park, which is home to more than a hundred lakes.
