The village of Le Breuil aux Gittons is a typical village of this region with small numbers of farm animals in the fields to provide interest and charm. Le Breuil is a small hamlet of approximately 35 houses / farms. The surrounding fields are used for both animal and crop growing. The roads are very quiet and great for cycling or walking, three cycles are available if required. For the more adventurous the local 'karting' track is situated on the small road to Chatillion and karts can be hired to suit children and budding Schumacher's.

Chatillon sur Indre is the nearest town, approximately 5 minutes drive and certainly within cycling distance. This small town has all the facilities and shops you would require including a good supermarket, bakers, butchers, banks and several café's and small restaurants/bars. The tourist information office is excellent. The town has a good swimming centre with safe children's areas, slides and spa pools.

Clion is about 10 minutes drive and although smaller it has a small range of shops plus a very good organic vegetable and nut oil producer.

Loches is 20 minutes drive, a historic and beautiful French town with historic streets and Chateaux. Loches is the nearest large town and well worth a visit especially on Wednesday or Saturday when the market is held. More details are on their website at www.loches-tourainecotesud.com/accueilgb.htm

The Indre is full of small towns and villages all awaiting discovery and for those looking to visit a large town Tours is 50 minutes north or Châteauroux is 30 minutes south. The first of the beautiful and historic chataux of the Loire are just north of Chatillon sur Indre.
