ST. JULIAN CHURCH
Read moreThe belltower-porch which dates back to the 11th century is the oldest part of this church, part of which was knocked down by a hurricane in the 13th century. Originally romanesque basilica, Saint-Julien is then rebuilt in the Gothic style. The two small chapels on either side of the chancel date from the 16th century. After the Revolution, Saint-Julien is abandoned and fall in ruins. It will be restored in the 19th century under the leadership of Prosper Mérimée, inspector of Historical Monuments. In 1859, you will find its primary purpose. If it is sinking so compared to the adjacent streets, it is because it was built before the walls of the Loire are raised, due to the risk of flood. During the Second World War, in an extremely exposed area however, the church has miraculously escaped the bombing in which destroyed the district mainly.
Today, concerts are often organised in this pretty building.

HEARTACHE
Read moreA little secret in Touraine to explore during your stroll on rue Colbert! Look for the sign indicating "Passage du Coeur Navré": unfortunately, this alley is not the cleanest in the city, but it is the narrowest. Legend has it that those condemned to death used this passage to reach the scaffold on the Place Foire-le-Roi. One shudders! But in the middle of the day, it is a curiosity not to be missed to contemplate the vaults, the roof, the old stones and to plunge into the heart of the history which reminds that of the Bridge of Sighs in Venice.

WATER MILL AND FLOUR MILL BOUIN
Read moreThe original square tower of this water mill is an eye-catcher, built at the beginning of the 20th century, andwas inspired by a stay in Italy by the owner at the time. And if you are wondering how a mill works, why not take the opportunity to visit it? Still in working order, he remains the only one to grind his grain thanks to the hydraulic energy he draws from the Mayenne River. During the visit, you will learn everything about the technique used for ages by millers. With its 7 m diameter paddle wheel, hydraulic turbine, 145 pulleys, 470 m of belts and manufacturing machines, wheat is transformed into flour in a more elaborate way than we can imagine. Since February 2007, the Chenillé-Changé mill has diversified its activities. In addition to the production of flour, which can be bought in the shop, it has caught up with modern times, becoming an electricity producer. An informative visit, we come out a little less stupid!
