This week in the agenda

Manoir de la Frazelière (anciennement manoir de la Petite-Rabière) stands in Joué-lès-Tours (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: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

This 17th century manor stands in Joué-lès-Tours, just outside Tours, within a wooded enclosure entered through two gateways with pillars topped by stone vases. Built for a physician from Tours, it was first known as Rabière before taking the name Frazelière in the early 20th century, under the family that still lives there today. Its most notable feature is the rear facade, marked by a projecting block containing the staircase, along with the roofs and garden gates listed as historic monuments.

What to know

The manor remains a private, inhabited property and cannot be visited freely outside special occasions.
It opens briefly to the public during the European Heritage Days, as part of the heritage trail organised by the town of Joué-lès-Tours.
The facades, roofs and garden gates have been listed as historic monuments since 1947.
A gîte set up in one of the outbuildings allows overnight stays, but this accommodation is separate from visiting the monument itself.
The site lies close to Tours, reachable by tram and by the Loire and Cher cycling routes.
