Small pond in the heart of the forest of Scévolles, which is accessed by a forest path. There is a small campsite and picnic tables. Wooden sculptures line the paths around the lake.

Built in the classical style between 1633 and 1639 under a plan directed by Cardinal Richelieu from 1631. Built in the Italian style, it was adapted to French taste by architects and builders Pierre and Jacques Lemercier.

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.

It is the site of a Roman camp dating from the Iron Age which, until its demolition, was a unique megalithic site in the region of Chinon. Apart from the few large boulders and stones left behind, the different colored heather growing in the area is the most striking visual highlight.

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.

The Sainte-Chapelle de Champigny-sur-Veude was built in Champigny-sur-Veude from 1499 and mainly during the first half of the 16th century; it is one of the seven holy chapels. The neighboring castle was unfortunately destroyed by Richelieu in 1635, who felt that it was overshadowing his castle which was under construction. Today, only the old outbuildings remain. One of the last vestiges is this magnificent royal chapel, saved by the Pope because it had the status of Sainte-Chapelle and housed the Holy Relics of the Passion of Christ. Founded in homage to Saint-Louis, it consists of a four-bay nave and a triumphal arch portico. The nave has 11 huge stained glass windows, each 8 meters high, whose remarkable stained glass windows retrace the life of Saint-Louis, from his coronation in Reims to his death. They were offered by Claude de Longwy to Louis II and Jacquette de Longwy for their marriage in 1538.
