Nicknamed the "Venice of the Berry", Argenton-sur-Creuse is a small, welcoming town, engaging and friendly, where the pace of life moves in harmony with the waters of the river.

Strolling down its pretty streets, you'll eventually arrive via the rue Grande at the old bridge, from which you can see the mills, one of whose wheels continues to turn, and the tangle of galleried houses with wooden balustrades and coppered roofs which seem to lean over the waters of the Creuse. After short pauses at the Saint-Saveur church and the chapel of Saint-Benoît, you can make a picturesque ascent of the rue de la Coursière, at the top of which you'll have a panoramic view of the entire town.
