Excellently presented with museum giving to a window into fashion, and the town of Argenton, through the ages.
Really good local museum covering the history of the shirt as worn by men. Most panels are also in English. The video giving the story of why the factory exists is really good with interviews with former employees but is only in French. This part of the story could do with a little more support.
Spent a wonderful hour around the museum.

Superb panorama from the chapel, don't hesitate to go up there (10 min walk from the old bridge at a low pace). Worth a look. (Original) "La Bonne Dame". Surnommée ainsi depuis 1689, cette imposante statue en cuivre doré à l'or fin de 6 mètres pour 3 tonnes surplombe le petit village de Argenton-sur-Creuse. Superbe panorama depuis la chapelle, n'hésitez pas à y monter (10min de marche depuis le vieux pont a une allure faible). Vaut le coup d'oeil.
