Hi!

First : Argenton sur Creuse is not in the Creuse but in the Indre ( 36)

When you buy a house, before you sign your " compromis de vente " ( precontract ) you get a diagnostic, which also concerns the local enviromental risks.

See here generalities given by the Prefecture:

Préfecture de l'Indre et les services de l'Etat dans l'Indre


Talk with Immobilier who will have a list of the local risksand may be able to give you more local facts.

Here direct details for Argenton sur Creuse:
