Built in the 17th century, remodeled in the 19th century and enlarged in the 20th century, this extraordinary horseshoe-shaped complex, surrounded by a glass canopy and a remarkable bell tower, offers more than 1200m2, on 2 hectares, in the heart of a park planted with century-old trees.

Closely linked to the history of the Mame family, influential in Tours for almost two centuries, the building was the initiative of Alfred Mame, grandson of the founder of the eponymous printing works, who would manage the company from 1845. His modern management and his passion for botany led him to acquire an estate in 1841, which he expanded from 1857.

He entrusted Eugene Buhler, a renowned landscaper, with the transformation of the park, including the construction of greenhouses, caretaker's houses, and the famous stables, completed in 1869. Former stables of the estate, the building facing due west, is accessible by two entrances, and is marked by this horseshoe-shaped architecture, with brick and tuffeau facades, remarkable for the region. The central pavilion opens onto a porch topped with an arch decorated with a sculpted horse's head, a recently restored wooden balcony, a complex roof with a wooden bell tower of the campanile type, and curved wings with large arched windows. Various rooms, through or not, make up the ground floor of the building, among which we can find a vestibule, a large reception room, a professional kitchen, an auditorium and its projection room, as well as several furnished spaces, including a former saddlery, a lounge, an office, and a meeting room. The upper floor is made up of several apartments, some of which already offer a recognized tourist accommodation activity. The spaces are bright and decorated with details such as floors, woodwork, and dormers. A remarkable set of bedrooms and an attic remain to be renovated according to the project. The outbuildings include a brick and half-timbered building, a workshop lit by a glass roof, and parking boxes.

The park, extending over nearly 2 hectares, is crossed by wide paths and adorned with large trees, including a majestic cedar. A rare property in the region, with a unique and resplendent architect, where history and heritage are one, in order to perpetuate an event activity or develop new projects.
