On the edge of the Indre, adjacent to Aigurande, the commune features 3 very different landscape units: to the west, the steep-sided valley of La Petite Creuse, overlooked by the village of Lignaud, with traces of a very ancient past; in between, a tightly-knit, wooded, undulating bocage, criss-crossed by numerous streams, with beautiful vistas. The area is dotted with numerous villages, some of them quite substantial, such as Lignaud and Les Chaumes.

The area is dotted with numerous villages, some of them quite substantial, such as Lignaud and Les Chaumes.
A surprising number of village crosses and pathways, in stone, wood or iron, dot the commune.
An unusual feature: the commune has two Monuments aux Morts (war memorials), one in the village and one in the hamlet of Villechiron.
The writer George Henry (1896-1906), whose real name was Henriette Jeanne Bruner, was a regular visitor to the hamlet of Piodon.
