WELCOME TO CENTRAL FRANCE

This site is dedicated to opening up a new world for those who have not visited this wonderful part of France, and also, to those that have, it aims to provide ideas for new places to visit and information to make you want to return again and again (to this site and for holidays in Central France!). And if you live here, then hopefully this will be a useful resource to you and your visitors. I do this site for free, as I love this area so much and I just want to share the information I have gathered. I do not operate a Tourist Information Office - but I am happy to try and answer any questions you have about the area or find out any local information for you, just please remember, I do this as a spare time occupation, so I may not answer all enquiries straight away.

This site covers the Indre (36), Cher (18), Allier (03) and Creuse (23) departments. I am building this site in my spare time, but trying my best to make it a comprehensive and very useful resource to tourists and other visitors to the area. Very soon, the site will have a few more categories - so that it covers tourism and related subjects and also some new pages for residents.

This part of Central France is relatively un-marketed to tourists and as a result, visitors to the area will find it a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of other holiday destinations. It is laid back, friendly and full of charm. If you like the idea of peace and quiet, friendly people and the feeling of stepping back in time by a few decades then you will love Central France. It has all that and hot weather in the spring, summer and autumn! (well usually anyway - click here for weather averages for last few years.).

Some new pages being developed for this site which are or will be available soon include -

  • To Buy or Not to Buy: Consider renting before giving up your UK home

  • Driving in France - read the signs

  • Recipes from Central France - traditional and contemporary (we welcome submissions from readers for this section)

  • Gardening and Small-holding - tips, advice and general information

  • Nature Pages - photos and some information on Central France Nature (we welcome submissions to add to these pages)

  • More pages will be added soon on tourist attractions in the area and more town pages.

The aim of this site is to make it the most informative site about the Central France on the web. You could help us do that! For more information go to the Contact Us page. We will, as time goes by, be adding new information and links to attractions and other informative sites that focus on the region.

This site is compiled as a free resource to the public. However it does take time and therefore, if you have a business and wish to be promoted, we do make a small annual advertising charge. This just helps to cover the costs of running this site.

Advertising:

You can advertise your property for sale for £50 until sold. You can advertise your holiday accommodation for £50 per year (example), or if you have a business related to the content of this site, you can have your own page for £50 a year. Your page will be accessible from the main buttons and also featured on this homepage. We get around 5000 individual viewers each month and growing (not including robots and spiders!).

Or you can have your own sub-website for £250 for first year followed by £50 a year thereafter (includes initial design fee and hosting) see example (this sub-website got a booking within 2 weeks). You can also have your own "@central-france.com" email  address if you wish.

If you would like further information on our site statistics and how to include your advert on this site please Contact Us.
