Culture

The Notre-Dame Church in Aigurande has a fortress-like appearance with its thick buttresses; at the choir there is a machicolated breteche. The 18th-century Chapelle Notre-Dame de La Bouzanne lies near the source of the Bouzanne.

Nature

The facilities visible today at the source of the Bouzanne were rebuilt in 1865 and 1866, with a basin and a stone monument. The spring is dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-Pitié and is visited as a pilgrimage site on the Tuesday of Pentecost. A chestnut grove at the source of the Bouzanne offers pilgrims and visitors a shady place to rest.
