LOCHES is the obvious place to head for in the Indre valley. Its walled citadel is by far the most impressive of the Loire valley fortresses, with its unbreached ramparts and the Renaissance houses below still partly enclosed by the outer wall of the medieval town. The old town is announced by the Tour St-Antoine belfry, close to place du Marche (Wednesday market), linking rue St-Antoine with Grande Rue. Two fifteenth-century gates to the old town still stand: the Porte des Cordeliers , by the river at the end of Grande Rue, and the Porte Picois to the west, at the end of rue St-Antoine. Rue du Chateau, lined with Renaissance buildings, leads to the twelfth-century towers of Porte Royale , the main entrance to the citadel.
