    In Turquant, the troglodytes are a network of tunnels of a thousand kilometers that cross the world under ground. Former freestone quarries, the galleries now serve as habitats, mushroom houses, museums and restaurants.

      Between Montsoreau and Saumur, the tuffeau rock dominates the Loire and is cut from one end to the other by a series of caves, sometimes troglodyte dwellings, sometimes quarries... Villages spring up in the valleys that crisscross the hills, while vineyards and mills mark the ridge. In Turquant, more than anywhere else, you can discover this Loire landscape, so characteristic of the Côte Saumuroise. Today, between tradition and modernity, the troglodytes can be discovered in all their originality, particularly in the Village des Métiers d'Art.
