Manoir de la Boissière stands in Athée-sur-Cher (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The manor of La Boissière stands on the northern hillside above the Cher river, in Athée-sur-Cher, overlooking the water a few metres below. This 16th century house from the Touraine region, long owned by the Binet family, retains a hexagonal stair tower and dormer windows decorated with finials, typical of the local architecture. Its park holds remains of a Roman aqueduct that once supplied the city of Tours with water.
