Touraine is a land of inspiration for artists, particularly the great writers Rabelais, Ronsard and Balzac. Visit their writers’ houses, as well as many other museums dedicated to a wide variety of subjects. From prehistory to wickerwork, via the works of Emmanuel Lansyer, Olivier Debré and the Compagnons du Devoir, travel through time, creativity and expertise.
As well as the museums, châteaux and gardens of Touraine, many of the towns and villages are also well worth a visit. Get hold of the brochure for their discovery trail: it contains all the main heritage information.
