« Ne me demandez plus pourquoi j'aime la Touraine. Je ne l'aime ni comme on aime son berceau...


...ni comme on aime un oasis dans le désert. Je l'aime comme un artiste aime l'art… »
Honoré de Balzac
"Le Lys dans la Vallée"

THE CASTLES...

We present here only some classical chateaux and garden near the home
but you must known that only in the village of Cheillé it exist 6 private castles or big houses.
We will be very happy to advice you during your stay.

The Touraine has his reputation with a lot of well-known writers like:
Balzac, Ronsard, Rabelais…
Each of their home was a museum now. We like particularly the museum of Balzac in Saché.

In this region we have a lot of troglodyte sites like the « Goupillère vallée » in Azay le rideau 
(4 km).
Just near the home, there 's the big museum of the mechanic: Museum of Maurice Dufrène.
