Association du Patrimoine de Pont de Ruan

The Ruan Bridge Heritage Association has set itself the objective of making visitors discover this village rich in history and crossed by the Indre.
Milling began on the site in 1192 around three main activities: flour, electrical production and the production of ice breads.
These different activities are today traced in an Escape Game (adult and junior version) inside large mill.
The Bistrot associatif opens its doors several times a year. It has become a friendly place and appreciated by its members and visitors.
The gains from its various activities will allow the next reconstruction of a first wheel.
The village is not limited to its mills. It also houses the oldest Christian church of Indre and Loire, consecrated in 444.
Away from the village, you will also discover the Manoir de Vonnes, cited by Balzac in the Lys in the valley but also the Priory of Relay religious building of nearly 1000 years.

À propos du lieu

Les Moulins de Pont-de-Ruan

1 Avenue de la Vallée du Lys 37260 Pont-de-Ruan

Indre-et-Loire
Centre-Val de Loire

Pont-de-Ruan is a village more than two thousand years old and historically crossed by the Roman road that led merchants, pilgrims and armies from Paris to Poitiers and Bordeaux. Located on the Indre, Pont-de-Ruan was a passing ford from which it takes its name: Pons Rotomagos. In 444, Saint Brice Bishop of Tours built the first building which is the present church. Historic site of passages, the village was crossed successively by the Roman legions, the barbarians, the Moors; but also probably by King Francis I, and certainly by Honoré de Balzac who speaks of the village in his novel "The Lys in the Valley".
