The Grisset Tower is an astonishing vestige of the Gallo-Roman era. This ancient tower was part of a temple dedicated to Mercury, the god of travelers and commerce. You can marvel at the impressive masonry and vaulted ceiling that have survived almost two thousand years. The tower is located on a hill overlooking the Loir, and you can enjoy panoramic views of the green valley and charming villages.

In addition to large fields (huge corn fields with automatic irrigation) are suddenly Roman remains. A look into the past. And yet so close.
