You'll find the gardens and landscapes at their most picturesque, and the outdoor cafes are a delight. It's also a great time for leisurely walks along the Indre River without the intensity of the summer heat.The summer months of July and August are also popular, offering warm weather superb for outdoor activities and longer daylight hours.
