Ouverte à certaines périodes uniquement, la visite du site historique de l'abbaye de Marmoutier à l'entrée de Tours permet de voir autrement la vie de saint Martin et de l'abbaye. On peut alors se rendre compte de la dimension vertigineuse de cet ancien lieu de pèlerinage. Les fouilles ont mis à jour l'évolution de la vie dans ce monastère à la très très longue histoire puisque l'on remonte au temps des Romains et des Vikings...
Heureusement qu'une guide est là pour vous permettre de vous y retrouver, les lieux ayant subi de très nombreux changements au cours des siècles.
Pensez à vous munir d'une bouteille d'eau et d'un chapeau de soleil en cas de journée ensoleillée : la visite est essentiellement extérieure.
