Argenton-sur-Creuse

Do not miss strolling on the banks of the Creuse, along the mills. For the more athletic, you must go see the Good Lady, the climb of the stairs is really worth the detour. The Saint-Benoît chapel often houses exhibitions and its bell tower in chestnut wood is sumptuous.

There is also the Saint-Sauveur church and its remarkable organ in the city center. But one cannot speak of the green Venice of Berry without evoking the houses with galleries on the edge of the Creuse visible from the old bridge, recently restored.

There is the greenway that crosses Argenton, perfect for walks or bike rides, either to Blanc on one side or to La Châtre on the other.

Numerous hiking trails for all levels will allow you to discover or rediscover this beautiful valley.

3 museums in the area: the Argentomagus museum and its Gallo-Roman site, the shirtmaking and male elegance museum with its industrial past in the city, and the Creuse valley museum which talks about the traditional trades of the valley.

Markets, Tuesday and Saturday mornings, bring life to the city center.
