In Chinon, the Manoir de la Fuye is a fortified house built at the end of the 15th century on the remains of an older stronghold tied to Chinon castle and Turpenay abbey. Its Renaissance character shows in the two perpendicular wings, the polygonal stair turret and the shell-carved dormers, while the loophole towers and machicolations recall its earlier defensive purpose.
