Description
In the 15th century, Port-Guyet belonged to the Abbey of Bourgueil. This area included a house surrounded by moat, outbuildings and a chapel which still retains two Gothic style arches. He would have served as a meeting place for hunting, where Ronsard went. Marie Dupin, the inspirer of the poet mentioned in the collection of loves, would also have lived here. The house is a rectangular building built on a vaulted basement. Its very tilted roof is finished by gables, the edges of which are decorated with round stones, and have the double square typical of the Bourgueil region. Most openings have renaissance -style trim or flat style pilasters. On the west side, there is a Gothic window. The interior houses a Gothic style chimney. To the east, a small wing was added to the house at the end of the 18th century.
