Éguzon-Chantôme is a commune in the Indre department in central France.
It is situated on the Creuse River. A nearby hydroelectric dam (the Eguzon dam), opened in 1923, provides electricity and also creates a lake (Chambon Lake) that is used for leisure and watersports.
Geography
The river Abloux forms all of the commune's western border and the Creuse, with the Chambon Lake, forms all of its eastern border.
