The Rabelais Museum-La Devinière lies in the heart of “Rabelaisie” within Touraine, Poitou and Saumurois and where the Vienne and Loire rivers meet.
The landscape that inspired Gargantua’s adventures has held onto its rustic and leafy personality in the heart of incredible natural and cultural heritage, listed as UNESCO World Heritage of Humanity. The left bank of the Vienne’s identity and scenery give this little slice of Touraine a charming casual lifestyle.
