Cave Entrance

36.9 km

Built in 1095, this former priory was transformed into an abbey five years later, in 1100, by the Benedictines. The village of Seuilly being the birthplace of the famous French Renaissance writer and doctor, François Rabelais, it is not surprising that he began his studies in this abbey.

Rabelais Museum

Highlight • Other

The Rabelais Museum is housed in La Devinière, a 15th century country house where François Rabelais was born. Rabelais was a monk, doctor, writer and botanist.

La Devinière is the only museum dedicated to François Rabelais. It consists of four remarkable buildings: the main building (15th century), a dovecote, troglodyte caves, a winegrower's house, as well as a garden and a vineyard.
