Boussac is a charming town overlooking the Petite Creuse. Built around its castle, the town is also characterized by its picturesque streets and the facades of its turreted houses.

This 4.50 meter high cast iron statue was erected by Abbot Jamot in 1878 on a rocky mess. He sought the protection of the Virgin Mary in the face of the expansion of Protestantism. It is also called the Sainte or the Péricholle.

The Château de Boussac is especially famous for having housed two particular occupants: the novelist George Sand and the publisher Pierre Leroux. It was built around the 11th century on a site occupied since Roman times. Destroyed by the English during the Hundred Years War, it was rebuilt in the 14th century. In 1926, a gendarmerie barracks was installed in the castle.
