Guys, all those who visit this place, please leave a review! It should be highly recommended on google maps as attraction since it is the most interesting place I have visited when I was at Tours! Not the Tours castle or the museums which were closed in a Tuesday (very confusing, but I don't regret, since I had time to visit place and it was by the end of the day)

It’s not surprising that such a beautiful and serene locale nurtured the creativity of one of the world’s great poets. Friendly staff, beautiful exhibits, lovely grounds. A must in Tours.

Absolute an tip. Here you can relax and strole a bit around. Ok the monastery is ruined, but it is so nicely kept and arranged. The house of the poet is fully intact and can be visited. Only the highway disturb a bit, but we all drive cars?. So the visit takes about 1-2 hours, but all over the place are resting seats and hammock-seats to relax a bit. So stressfull Tours can be, so relaxing this place is. Also roses can be bought as plants. Entrance price was 6€ and parking is free. Also easy flat paths can be managed by elderly people.

5 mn from Tours by car, home of the famous French Renaissance poet Pierre de Ronsard. Beautiful historic site with a peaceful contemplative atmosphere. Magnificent restored Renaissance manor, combined with contemporary artists-in-residence exhibits make it a lovely short day trip near Tours.

Super! Gardens are lovely and with a nice “fresh” touch: hammocks and comfortable chairs! Wonderful to experience this important place for a great poet, Pierre Ronsard.
