Description
The stone house was the property of the Binet family, an influential family of the Touraine region in the 15th and 16th centuries. The hotel consists of a main building and three wings which form a right angle, two oriented towards the west and one towards the east. The western facade of the main building is flanked by a polygonal tower which houses a spiral staircase. The entrance to the tower is done by a door in the shape of a basket handle, adorned with a hug decorated with hooks and surrounded by pinnacles. South of the tower is a small square oratory. The two wings are connected by a gallery supported by wooden pillars, which is served by two spiral staircases, also made of wood, with balusters and located in the corners.
