Manor Tours (37)
A 15th-16th century manor house and hamlet set in more than 2 hectares of land to the west of Tours. A manor house and hamlet with two houses and numerous outbuildings set in an estate with over two hectares of land. From the road leading up to the village, a carriage path leads around the hamlet and the manor house's surrounding wall. A gate opens onto a driveway lined with poplars, with meadows on one side and an orchard on the other. This leads to a second gateway, which provides access to a vast grassed area enclosed by walls. The manor house, built in the 15th and 16th centuries, faces east. An imposing barn, that leads on from it, faces an outbuilding. To the side, small communal areas border the space. On the opposite side, a farmhouse that faces south and its outbuildings complete the ensemble. To the rear of the manor house there is a south-facing house. The central courtyard opposite it leads to a barn which has been converted into a reception room, bordered by a meadow and several other outbuildings belonging to the old farm. At the far end of the estate, a fortification in a polygon shape is a reminder of how important the fiefdom once was.
