Chaumeton, a Bougueillois botanist

Born in Bourgueillois, François-Pierre Chaumeton was a doctor and botanist born on September 20, 1775 in Chouzé-sur-Loire.
He became a surgeon at the age of 18 in the Western army.
The doctor visits Italy and is passionate about ancient literature, especially Greek. But a fire destroyed his library and all his notes.
Hyperemotional, Chaumeton could not stand the bloody scenes and became a pharmacist in the health service; he liked to study the botanical and zoological wonders.
He then worked for the Encyclopedic Store, the Medical Library, the Universal Journal of Medical Sciences and various other publications.
He participated in the Flore médicale alongside Jean Louis Marie Poiret (1755-1834).
He is above all the editor of the Dictionary of Medical Sciences entrusted to him by the publisher Panckouke.
Chaumeton is the abbreviation of his name in botany.
We wanted to make his botanist work known through an exhibition in the Saint-Pierre-de-Bourgueil Abbey. Beautiful works of medical flora are kept in the Jean Chamboissier public library of Bourgueil.

About the location

Abbaye Saint-Pierre
2 Avenue Le-Jouteux, 37140 Bourgueil
  • Indre-et-Loire
  • Centre-Val de Loire
Benedictine abbey founded in 990 by Emma, Duchess of Guyenne and Countess of Poitou. She was attached in 1630 to the congregation of Saint-Maur. During the Revolution, the abbey was sold as a national property, which led to the destruction of many elements (church of the 14th century, cloister...). Ancient buildings remain the Great Attics of the 12th century, the abbey building, the pavilion of the 17th century. The refectory and dormitory building was built from 1720 by the architect Jean Miet with its monumental staircase. It includes the south gallery of the cloister dating from the 14th century. The refectory of the Monks has been converted into a theatre and cinema. The abbey part sold in 2021 carries out residency activities and artistic and cultural internships.
