Manoir de la Vignole stands in Turquant (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Turquant, above the troglodyte village, this 15th-century manor recalls a family who served King René of Anjou. Local tradition even places the final days of Margaret of Anjou, the deposed former queen of England who died in 1482, within its walls, though no document confirms the story. The building, now converted into a hotel, combines old façades with rooms carved directly into the tufa cliff.
