The best place to visit if your wife is a long time fan A slice of life in the 16th century Beautiful museum about François Rabelais in his original birthplace. There are a lot of contents, great displays and information about his Life and his famous novels! This museum has been improving over the years and only gotten better! You can also experience the troglodytes with some beautiful rooms dug into the limestone under his home. One thing - they still close for lunch, yes I know it's a bit sad especially during the high tourist season. You need at least 1h30min to really go around and enjoy it fully, so plan accordingly around the lunch closure. You can actually picnic around or go to the very cute village located nearby. Enjoy Chinon and its rich History! What a privilege to be part of a delightful event on Weds 2/8/23 which will be repeated on other Wednesdays in August. https://www.musee-rabelais.fr/evenements/rabelais-en-liberte-la-balade-operette/ After a superb lecture by Délphine, a very talented conférencière, we were treated to a 'balade operette', led by 3 excellent musicians - 2 wonderful singers and a very accomplished accordionist. They entertained us with songs from the belle époque relating to Rabelais (thanks to research by their sparkling soprano, another Délphine), sung in a variety of locations around the site, including the caves with their beautiful acoustic, a vineyard, and finishing at the Abbaye de Seuilly. All ending up with the chance to chat with other participants, the artists, the mayor and even the director, Alain Lecomte. Un grand merci à tout le monde! This is a must for all French teachers! Really an unexpected gem in the countryside. Very nice gardens, fascinating museum about the life of a literary giant, and the underground cellar rooms are amazing. We arrived at 12:20 and the front desk turned us away because they take their lunch break at 13:00. Lol. Unexpected interesting with guided tour! Arrived at 17:10 walked to entrance and we were turned away because 40 minutes isn’t long enough for a visit. We had no choice but to leave.😭vous indiquez l’horaire de la dernière entrée est 30 minutes avant la fermeture. Editing review because we came all the way back the next day. Lovely visit. Can be done in 40 minutes, more if you linger and wander the gardens.
