Monuments to visit Argenton-Sur-Creuse

The Pont-Vieux has existed since the beginning of the town's construction, at the foot of the fortress, hence its name as «bridge-old». In the eighteenth century houses and shops of one or more floors were installed on the bridge itself (a panonceau at its foot reproduced a vision of that era). Today, the view is very picturesque on the mills and their pavements. The bridge is surrounded by old wooden houses that are reflected in Creuse.

Enjoy the bridge, only, between friends or in love, and why not walk on the Creuse edges. The mill has lost its wheels but retains a certain charm, and it is rightly a subject of choice for painters and photographers.

A charming promenade is located on the right bank of Creuse, between the picturesque Moulin de Bord and the Moulin du Rabois, more industrial. This second mill is the seat of artistic associations. A contemporary art exhibition site, the Arboretum is also located there and creative workshops are organized for children. The walk is the place of the potters' market renewed every June. The promenade allows you to enjoy breathtaking views of the river and Old Bridge with its houses with wooden balconies, admire the fishermen and throw bread to ducks.

Facing Saint Benoît chapel, this ancient building houses the municipal music school. Built in the Renaissance, it consists of a semi-hexagonal semi-hexagonal turret and an ogivale door with ornamented arc. Turn around to admire both sides of the building. In the sixteenth century it was built to serve as a college, then a prison occupied the places at the end of the eighteenth century. It was then that he was named «old prison».

The hotel de Scevolles is one of the beautiful old buildings of the city. In a large paved courtyard, overlooking a garden at the door of the covered market, there is an old classic well with its pulley, as well as a whistle above the door. Surround the wrought iron grid that opens onto the garden, a medallion in Scevolles' family. This place is responsible for history!

Built in the th century, it is located in Duperthuis street. His tower tower gives him the appearance of an old castle of fairy tales.
