Above the Indre River stands the castle that gave the entire town its name. Once, in the 10th century, a wooden fortress belonging to the lords of Déols stood here. In the 12th century, Raoul le Large had it rebuilt in stone—and ever since, it bears his name: Château-Raoul. From that castle, the town's name, Châteauroux, evolved.

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.

A peaceful medieval monastery with simple architecture, beautiful terraced gardens, and views of the city and river. A wonderful stop on your walk to pause, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy the history and greenery together.

A beautiful route full of variety! A delightful loop of approximately 8 km that includes everything: views of the Château de Chabenet, a stop at the charming Château du Petit-Broutet, the unique Pont Couvert bridge, and the impressive Viaduc de la Bouzanne. The mix of riverbanks, forests, and open fields ensures you'll constantly encounter a new setting. There are plenty of quiet spots along the way to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy combining culture and nature.

It’s important to take a break!

From the chemin de charrières, which runs along La Bouzanne, you have a fantastic view of the castle above the path. The asphalt path is easy to walk on and has little traffic, even in addition to the fantastic view of the castle. The best way to get to this path from the castle is to walk to the railway bridge. Then turn left into the dead end before the railway bridge. This path, which is also asphalted, leads directly to the chemin de charrières, which you have to follow for about 1 km in the valley to get to the viewing point with a view of the castle. Just do it❗
