About

In the heart of the stone hillside, the Magnerie troglodytic site makes your visit colourful. Overlooking the Cher River, this paradise delights all ages with its beauty, calm atmosphere, and the mysterious universe of its galleries piercing the heart of a pretty hillside facing south. The inhabitants of the site will show you their home : the ancient farm dug in the tuffeau stone of Bourré, the silkworm farm (history of silk production in Touraine and education of silkworms) and also some rooms of their private habitation, inhabited the whole year. Discover the unusual world of galleries dug into the rock and of silworms. Probably one of the most original tours of your stay.
