Manoir du Port-Guyet (ancien logis de Marie Dupin) stands in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil (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: 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Port-Guyet manor stands in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, on the border between Touraine and Anjou. This 15th century dwelling, once belonging to the abbey of Bourgueil, is said to have hosted Marie Dupin, the muse celebrated by the poet Ronsard in his Amours, and to have served as his hunting lodge. It features a steeply pitched roof flanked by gables with stone rondelis, a gothic window on the west side and a fireplace of the same period inside. Two gothic arches, remnants of the former chapel, still stand nearby.
What to know
