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 beautiful route full of variety!

From the bridge over the Creuse River in Saint-Gaultier, you have a beautiful view of the priory with the Église Saint-Gaultier (also called Église Saint-Gaultier et son priory). The complex: Originating in the 11th–12th century, built by the Benedictines. It consisted of the church and the adjacent monastery/prieuré. The towers and buildings you see are partly part of the later college that was built against the old priory. The complex offers a magnificent view of the Creuse, making it such a photogenic spot from the bridge.

A beautiful (quiet) walking route with a rest area with a bench about halfway along, where we were joined by donkeys. Part of the route crosses and follows the Creuse River. Beautiful views, with several benches and picnic tables along the river.
