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.

La Mothe-Chandeniers Castle

Highlight • Castle

Atypical castle certainly but inaccessible to obtain the same point of view as that of the shared photos. The visit of this castle is possible but paying. 8€ which are certainly worth it. You still need to be aware, and know that your bike must remain in the parking lot during this period.
