Heritage summer festival Visits and shows in Gâtine Racan

From 8 June to 27 August 2025, discover 7 exceptional sites opening their doors for an afternoon or evening, for convivial events. Take advantage of the rich heritage summer programme to see monuments that are little known to the general public!

Between the Loire and the Loir

Music, theatre, equestrian art… experience an exceptional moment at the 8th edition of the Estivales du Patrimoine, in châteaux, manor houses or beautiful buildings serving as the backdrop for these cultural events.

Add to this numerous walks, signposted cycle loops, and many escapades to do in the surrounding area (Tours, les caves de Vouvray, the châteaux of Amboise, Langeais, Champchevrier, the antique dealers of La Chartre-sur-le-Loir…), and all that’s left for you to do is plan a full Gâtine Racan holiday!
