La Coursiere street leads to the top of the hill where the little chapel of the Bonne Dame stands.This is worth a visit as you can overlook the whole town from there.

Musée de la Chemiserie et de l’Elégance masculine:  Shirt and Elegance Museum 
This little museum is located on what once was the first lingerie workshop in the area.  The workshop opened in 1860 and soon developed to be one of the main sources of revenue in the area.  My favourite part in the museum is the floor dedicated to the women who worked there as it is a testimony of the economical development of the town an also testimony of the way of life of the women in Argenton.
