Déols is an ancient town with a famous Benedictine abbey, Abbaye Notre-Dame-du-Bourg-Dieu. Today it is somewhat overshadowed by the nearby city of Châteauroux, which faces it across the river Indre.
It preserves a fine Romanesque tower and other remains of the abbey church,[3] once the most important in the duchy of Berry.
