Just 10km from Chinon, Le Rivau offers an enchanted interlude in the heart of History, Art and Nature. Far from a visit to a château or traditional garden, Le Rivau takes you on an astonishing journey to the heart of extraordinary gardens... Here, all the senses are awakened: 500 varieties of fragrant roses, an extraordinary kitchen garden whose vegetables can be enjoyed in the château's restaurant, monumental works of art in the gardens and in the château. There are also treasure hunts and costumes for children, a tearoom, a locavore restaurant, a gourmet restaurant, exhibitions and hammocks for adults. You'll find it hard to leave... Since 2020, a Garden Escape Game has also been on offer.
In the heart of Tours, the Olivier Debré Centre for Contemporary Creation is a prestigious artistic space with an international reputation. The CCCOD presents about ten exhibitions each year. Designed by the Aires Mateus brothers, the building houses 4 large spaces dedicated to contemporary art and allows the public to enjoy several exhibitions in one visit. The name of the CCCOD pays tribute to Olivier Debré, a painter of lyrical abstraction whose studios were located in Touraine. Mediators are at the disposal of the public and each exhibition is accompanied by a personalised programme: fun workshops, guided tours, lectures and various events. The Bookstorming bookshop and the contemporary café are open to the public.
