WELCOME in LE MOULIN DE PALBAS - Bed and Breakfast in Berry near Chateauroux -


'Le Moulin de Palbas' is a 16th century estate and its atmosphere still reflects the serenity of the monks, the former occupants. Since the farming as such was abandoned a long time ago, its 33 hectares consist of woods, prairies, marshland and a lake.
'Le Moulin de Palbas' lies at 5 kms from the center of a village of 500 souls, Pruniers, in the heart of the Berry region, 250 kms South of Paris, in the Indre. The Berry region is rich in history ('les Ducs de Berry) and culture, but has not been discovered by tourists yet. The rivers Cher and Indre flow quietly, the landscape is hilly with meadows and forest.

The nearby forest and the country roads invite you to long or short walks (several villages have set out walks going from 5 to 40 kms) and bike-tours, or trips on horseback. Do bring your pet, if it's a cat, dog or horse: they will love it here too! You may wish us to prepare a pick-nick basket, you can use the outdoor pool, go fishing or birdwatching. The kids will be having fun in the playground, playing table football or table tennis while you enjoy your drink on the terrace. In the nearby village you can play tennis, there are several itineraries in the neighbourhood.

If you prefer cultural activities, you won't be disappointed either: two of the most picturesque villages in France are to be found in the Indre region. Interesting daytrips - for all ages - can be made to the Loire chateaux and their famous vineyards, the Noirlac Abbey, the 'Vallée Noire' and the house of George Sand in Nohant, the 13th century watermill in Angibault, the gardens in Orsan, the romantic music weeks and the festival of traditional music, the Futuroscope, the Palace Jacques Coeur and the cathedral in Bourges, the Parc Naturel de la Brenne and the Parc Animalier de la Haute Touche, France's biggest outdoor zoological garden. Furthermore, there are many festivals, markets, antiques markets etc. in all seasons.
