Maison natale de Ronsard

Native house of Pierre de Ronsard. «Prince of poets» was born there September 11th, 1524 and lived its first twelve years in this place. We find there even today remarkable sculptures, first appearances of the Italian Renaissance in France. It is a place of charm, just like the imprint left by the poet of Vendôme in the French literature. The manor house is decorated with a garden of ancient roses and modern roses as well as a kitchen garden. The ticket includes the visit of the manor and gardens (from late May). Last accessed 1 hour before closing. Also: activities in season.
