Culture
The Tuilerie in Argentière is a complex dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. It was built near a brick kiln erected in 1859 and probably served as the home and outbuildings of a brickmaker.
The Lavoir de Jagon is located on the eastern edge of the village. The surrounding wall has been restored and the site enhanced.
The Lavoir de Jagon has an uncovered basin fed by a built spring. Sloping stone slabs along the long sides form the washboards.
The many former craft sites involved in brickmaking in Argentière gave the Circuit des Tuileries–Argentières its name.
Nature
The Circuit des Tuileries–Argentières begins near the Lavoir d’Argentière.
