The inspiration for many of his poems, La Possonnière Manor is no less than the birthplace of Pierre de Ronsard. Located in Couture-sur-Loir in the department of Loir-et-Cher, he was born there in 1524 and spent his entire childhood there. The building dates from the end of the 15th century and you will see a number of Renaissance influences, like the sculptures adorning the façade and the monumental fireplace in the main room.
Plants have pride of place at La Possonière Manor, as you can see from the various gardens (rose garden, kitchen garden...) that surround it. In the woodland park, take the time to read the various educational signs about the fauna and flora, as well as extracts from the poet's works. A romantic place where the scent of the flowers instantly sweeps us away to his world.
