[FR] Anciennes carrières de tuffeau situées sous la Forteresse Royale de Chinon.
Leur aspect n’a pas été modifié depuis le XVIe siècle avec des galeries qui s’enfoncent sous la Forteresse Royale de Chinon.
Il semblerait que le père de François Rabelais y ait possédé sa propre cave pour y conserver le fameux vin « Breton ».
Il est possible de visiter les Caves Painctes. Elles sont le lieu de rassemblement pour les Chapitres de la Confrérie des Bons Entonneurs Rabelaisiens.
[EN] Former tufa quarries located under the Royal Fortress of Chinon.
Their appearance has not changed since the sixteenth century with galleries that sink under the Royal Fortress of Chinon.
It seems that the father of François Rabelais has owned his own cellar to keep the famous wine "Breton".
It is possible to visit the Winery Caves. They are the meeting place for the Chapters of the "Bons Entonneurs Rabelaisiens" Fraternity.
