Site exceptionally open to the public, site led by the archaeologists of Inrap and the Archaeological Service of Indre-et-Loire (SADIL). The excavations revealed the complete plan: the church, the cloister and the conventual buildings of the abbey of Beaumont-lès-Tours founded in the early 11th century. This abbey will host until 1790, nuns following the rule of Saint-Benoît before being sold to the Revolution, and will then be dismantled and transformed into barracks in 1913.
Visits of the site guided by archaeologists. Last departure at 4:30 pm.
Access by the third place of the "Beaumonts".
