A charming medieval town on the River Creuse with a variety of shops, hotels and restaurants. Argenton sur Creuse has a fascinating history and a delightful atmosphere. Picturesque alleyways and ancient houses hanging precipitously over the winding river Creuse make this town a popular subject for artists and photographers.
Veiw of the Church Saint-Benoît du Sault Included in 1988 among the one hundred "Most Beautiful Villages of France" this small medieval town was founded in the Xth Century, developed around a Benedictine priory. Leave your car in the car park and go on foot into the old town or you will miss a store of treasures.
Château Guillaume, Lignac
The major interest of Château Guillaume lies in its roman dungeon dating back to the 11th century and enlarged in the 13th century. The fortress is said to have been founded by Guillaume X, duke of Aquitaine, father of Alienor of Aquitaine who may herself have been born there. Château Guillaume was among others the property of the La Trémoille Family. After being dismantled under Richelieu, the castle was restored in 1878 by Countess of Beauchamp, born Lanet. Everyday - 14h30 to 18h, from June to September. Adults: 5 Euros.
