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.

The Château de Lancosme is one of the most important properties in Brenne. It is surrounded by a vast wooded park. It is from this park that the Lancôme company derives its name.

Do not take the walk after a wet period. A large part of the paths is heavily flooded.

Pleasant stopover. Night at the “black horse.” Beautiful village to discover

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.

A very nice dirt road mainly through the forest. Very green and pleasant in summer. Can be a little dark in autumn. If it rains it can be muddy, make sure you have mud flaps.

From this bridge, you have a lovely view of the colorful houses of Argenton-sur-Creuse. Argenton-sur-Creuse succeeded the Gallo-Roman city of Argentomagus in Saint-Marcel. The site still contains exceptional traces and remains of the ancient city.

Known for its beach and swimming area, Bellebouche Pond is one of the largest and most beautiful bodies of water in Brenne. The pond is part of a larger site covering a total of 300 hectares of meadows, moors, wasteland, and woods. Three observatories located at the end of the pond and guided excursions allow visitors to discover its natural treasures. The observatory located to the east is recommended for the morning, and the observatories located to the west are recommended for the afternoon. Guided activities are offered seasonally (calendar available upon request). For information: +33 2 54 38 28 28
