Tips from the Community
Although the Notre-Dame church in the town of Areines may seem modest in size, the richness of its interior decoration is remarkable. It consists of a rectangular nave from the 11th century that extends into a narrower choir and ends with a semi-circular apse from the 12th century. The bell tower was added in the Gothic period. All the walls are covered with murals. The restoration of those in the choir and apse dating from the middle of the 12th century allows us to see: Christ in Majesty, the Lamb with a halo, the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, saints and apostles. Some of these primitive frescoes were covered by paintings from the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries. Many traces are visible on the walls of the nave and will be restored in the years to come.

Bakery sandwich shop open every day until 10pm! Since there aren't many shops in the area, it's a gift for a ride on a Sunday!

This small town in Vouvrillon, dazzling with the white tuffeau stones that adorn its town center, is a little jewel of Loire paradise. Several renowned wine growers live on its hillsides. The village and its shops provide pleasant entertainment, especially on Thursday mornings during the weekly market. Several guest rooms are open to spend a night there.

The Church of the Holy Trinity, in Vernou-sur-Brenne, in Indre-et-Loire, was founded between 460 and 490 by Archbishop Saint Perpet. The exterior walls, foundations, several pillars and buttresses are heavily damaged by erosion and humidity. Call for opening hours: +33 2 47 52 70 75
