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.

At this location you are in the middle of an underground labyrinth of Souzay-Champigny. Explanation: underground, in the cliffs and hills, the troglodytes of Saumurois form an enormous underground network. These are unique in France. More than 1 km of tunnels have been dug by man over the centuries to live, shelter and work. Here you can literally dive into a cool past.
