Tips from the Community
Towering over Argenton-sur-Creuse is the gilded statue of the Bonne Dame, a beacon visible from afar. What few people know is that this six-meter-high statue was dragged from the train station to the chapel in 1899 by ten oxen and thirteen horses, to the loud applause of the town's inhabitants. Today, you can hike up the hill yourself and be rewarded with a panoramic view of the Creuse valley—with the Bonne Dame still standing guard over the town.

Château de la Tour is a true gem. From the bridge over the Creuse River, you have a beautiful view of the water and, of course, the château.

Superb panoramic view of the river and the town of Thenay. This place is on the bike path, so you can stop, get off the bike and take a photo.

The La Forge Inn is located in a very beautiful location. In fine weather, the terrace is open to you in the garden and allows you to enjoy the shaded and flowered arbors. The Auberge promotes local products. There is also a restaurant open every day except Monday and Tuesday. More information here: https://www.indreavelo.fr/fr/restaurants/auberge-la-forge/

Located on a small height which offers a very extensive view of the valley, the castle is made up of two buildings at right angles with several turrets. With the exception of a few buttresses, the traces of fortifications still visible at the beginning of the 17th century have now disappeared.

A very interesting castle. It is privately owned but can be rented for events. It was the setting for the Channel 4 show Escape the Castle. Legend has it that the last wolf in the area was shot from a window of the castle. For more information on the château check: https://thechateau.tv/
