This former troglodytic silkworm farm will reveal all the secrets of silkworm rearing.
It was Louis XI who established silk manufacturing in Touraine. Although the industry flourished for many years, it later declined, but France's oldest silk factory is still active on the outskirts of Tours. When you visit this ancient peasant residence, you'll discover bombyx breeding in a 17th-century silkworm farm set in a former tufa quarry, as well as an exhibition of marine fossils extracted from the site's limestone. You can also appreciate modern life in a real troglodytic dwelling
