Do you love arts and crafts made in France? Visit Beaulieu-lès-Loches and Villaines-les-Rochers! Both have been awarded the “Ville et Métiers d’Art” label, and are home to craftsmen with unique skills.

Living heritage

One is next to the Royal City of Loches, the other close to the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau. In the shadow of the châteaux of the Loire, discover a new facet of Touraine: artistic, sometimes poetic, always unique!
