Things to see and do Indre-Et-Loire

This museum is the result of a collection of fossils and flint tools from the Val d'Indrois region. It tells the touching story of a handicapped child who communicates only by sign language, and who scours the countryside in search of pebbles with peculiar shapes, which turn out to be fossils or flint tools. The museum also features an exhibition of photos and macro-photographs that plunge us into the undergrowth and moors, where we can come across deer and microscopic fauna skilfully captured by artist Jimmy Bonnard.

It is one of the largest cave properties of Indre-et-Loire, carved in the rock in the th century. It was inhabited by the marchioness de Doisonville and then by Mr. Taboureau de Boisdenier, entrepreneur of Les Works du Roy. Built on two levels (20 m and 50 m), it dominates the Loire and offers beautiful landscapes on the river. On its side and behind it, a large oak forest allows you to enjoy beautiful strolls and greenery. You can borrow a staircase in the rock to finish the visit. Parking is located right opposite the manor house on the other side of the National 152. Be careful by crossing the road. Today, the manor serves as a wine museum.

The Saint-Michel de Bois-Aubry Royal Abbey is a listed historic monument located in Bois-Aubry, in the commune of Luzé in the Indre-et-Loire region. Dating back to the early 12th century, it is remarkable for both its history and its architecture. The abbey offers 4-star-rated gîtes, ideal for relaxing family or couple vacations. The gîtes are designed to combine comfort, conviviality and respect for age-old traditions. Visitors can also take advantage of the swimming pool facing the choir of the abbey church. The abbey is also famous for housing the grave of Hollywood actor Yul Brynner. A small museum traces his biography and filmography. For history, art and culture enthusiasts, it's possible to support the abbey by becoming a volunteer or making a donation to the Association Abbaye Royale Saint-Michel de Bois-Aubry.
