Levroux is a commune in the Indre department in central France, to the north of Châteauroux. On 1 January 2016, the former commune of Saint-Martin-de-Lamps was merged into Levroux. Its Porte de Champagne fortified gateway is the only survivor of its seven gates. It is famous for its local delicacy of goats' cheese.
