Manoir du Plessis stands in Savonnières (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, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Manoir du Plessis at Savonnières combines two 16th-century main buildings, later altered in the 18th century and joined by an addition from that same period. The house is closely linked to writer René Benjamin, who retired here in 1927 and lived there until his death. A small chapel attached to the main dwelling, though thoroughly restored, still recalls the Renaissance origins of the estate. The large garden was laid out by Joachim Carvalho, who also restored the nearby Château de Villandry.
