À propos du lieu

Bibliothèque d'Histoire de la Touraine

2 rue des Maures, 37000 Tours

Indre-et-Loire
Centre-Val de Loire

Built in the middle of the 15th century, this building was the eastern end of the Logis des Gouverneurs from which it was separated in the 19th century, to rectify the Rue des Maures. It is built on the outline of the Gallo-Roman wall of the fourth century, along the Loire. Following the administrative formalities carried out in 2020 and slowed down by the containment, the restoration and adaptation of the building began in January 2021 with the roof. At the time of this visit, the construction of the interior layout of the building is completed with the creation of the three levels of activities that will comprise this future library.
