At this location you are in the middle of an underground labyrinth of Souzay-Champigny. Explanation: underground, in the cliffs and hills, the troglodytes of Saumurois form an enormous underground network. These are unique in France. More than 1 km of tunnels have been dug by man over the centuries to live, shelter and work. Here you can literally dive into a cool past.

This impressive suspension bridge spans the Loire between La Chapelle-aux-Naux and Langeais and was originally completed in 1849. The bridge has been repaired and rebuilt many times and has a two-lane road over the Loire. On the Langeais side, a walk along the banks of the Loire, on both sides of the bridge, is highly recommended. The Langeais bridge is a stubborn bridge. It has been rebuilt five times! The story begins in 1848, the year in which King Louis Philippe authorised the construction of a "wire bridge", as it was then called (bridge 1). But wires are excellent lightning conductors! And 10 years after its opening in 1859, the bridge collapsed into the Loire after a heavy storm, its deck and suspension elements. Two years later in 1861, the bridge was repaired and operational again as a toll bridge (bridge 2). But shortly afterwards, in 1870, war broke out and the advance of the Prussian enemy had to be slowed down. Boom! Bridge was blown up (bridge 3) The fourth was completed in 1914, but then came the... car! They were heavy, they came and went! The bridge therefore had to be extensively rebuilt to bear the weight of modernity. This happened in the 1930s, and the opportunity was taken to decorate the bridge with its very special Gothic pillars, which reflected the Gothic style of the castle; the two form a mirror image. Bridge 4 was built! All is well, all is well... but then it is June 1940. And this time it is the Germans who have to be stopped. To stop the invader, the bridge was blown up again. After first using a ferry and then a temporary footbridge, the inhabitants waited until 1949 for a bridge over the Loire (bridge 5). The bridge of Langeais is the only bridge between Tours and Port Boulet. It is now a rather imposing bridge with a turbulent history.

In the heart of Touraine, in an enchanting setting where the delicate white of the tuffeau stone and the ever-changing green of the Indre River blend harmoniously, L'Islette welcomes you. The Renaissance château, nestled in the arms of the Indre River, is now home to the current owners. They are happy to share their home with visitors and show them the rooms currently occupied. In this way, they combine history and modernity to create a 21st-century château. L'Islette, where Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin were frequent guests and sheltered their passionate love life, invites you to be swept away by the romantic charm of the Indre Valley.
