A former priory from the 13th and 16th centuries, partially listed as a national Historical Monument, surrounded by grounds of nearly 35 hectares, on the outskirts of Tours. The property, undetectable from a street along the edge of the village, is accessible from an iron gate that opens on to a lane that ascends gradually through the woods and leads to the base of the tower and the remains of the enclosure wall, before skirting the buildings until it reaches the priory. In addition, the property is also accessible via a second gate that opens on to an immense gravel courtyard planted with flowering shrubs, which communicates with all of the buildings. On one side, a tithe barn, 40 metres long, whose exteriors, wooden rafters and roof are all listed as national Historical Monuments, stands directly opposite from the prior’s dwelling, flanked on either side by outbuildings and a tower, while, to the north, a farmhouse abuts the enclosure wall.
In the middle of it all is an impressive dovecote, listed as a regional Historical Monument, as is the tower, the remains of the enclosure wall and the dwelling’s exteriors and rooftops. As for the dwelling, restored, it has become a sunny living environment, whose original features, such as its stone spiral staircase, fireplaces and pointed stone walls, have been faithfully preserved, while the property’s farmhouse has been turned into guest accommodations for six people and the barn and outbuilding at the base of the tower are used to host receptions. Lastly, the final outbuilding, half of which was transformed into public bathrooms, is still used as a workshop and could be developed further, whereas the grounds, which extend over nearly 35 hectares, are made up of woods and meadows, crisscrossed by pathways and waterways.
