[FR] Balzac à séjourné à trois reprises à Issoudun (en avril 1834, en août 1835 et en février-mars 1838). Il était accueilli par son amie Zulma Carraud, dans le belle demeure de Frapesle. Un grand écrivain venait ici se reposer après des séances d'écriture épouvantes. On dit aussi qu'il fuyait Paris pour échapper à ses affaires et ses créanciers.

Monument offert par le docteur Moreau-Defarges, inauguré le 29 juin lors des fêtes du Romantisme à Issoudun.
