Unique troglodyte house in the Valley

La Tour is a cave house with unique historic charm. The previous inhabitants were agricultural workers who earned extra cash mining the tuffa (a sedimentary limestone). Around the Loire you will find a number of lovely country houses and castles constructed of this natural material. The cave house is simply furnished, but offers the necessary equipment for a pleasant stay. Experience the feeling of living in a cave house. In the summer, the home stays relatively cool. And in the winter, the large fireplace provides extra warmth and a charming atmosphere. The cave house is located in rural surroundings. If you're lucky, you'll see a bat or an owl in the evening. The famous castles of Montrichard, Amboise and Chenonceaux are within 20 km. The Chateau of Chenonceau is located in the Loire valley and dates from 1432. What makes the castle so unique is that it is built over the water of the river de Cher and has wonderful well maintained gardens. The castle is a private property and is open year round.
