[F] Cet hôtel particulier avec sa façade sculptée de rinceaux (motifs composés de tiges enroulées portant des feuillages) et sa tour d'escalier est la plus belle des demeures tourangelles de la Renaissance que nous conservons encore de nos jours. Y sont exposées d'importantes collections qui recouvrent toutes les périodes de l'histoire, depuis la préhistoire et l'âge gallo-romain jusqu'au 19ème siècle. On peut ainsi y admirer des faïences, des sculptures, du mobilier et surtout la reconstitution du cabinet de physique de Jean-Jacques Rousseau au château de Chenonceau, dans un beau cadre de boiseries du 18ème siècle.
