Welcome to Priory Saint Cosme - Ronsard's house

THE PRIORY, A MONUMENT LIKE NO OTHER

"Heaven on earth" open all year outside Tours

Prieuré Saint-Cosme always strikes a chord! The 12th century canons called it a "heaven on earth that prepared the way to true paradise". The priory's calling may have changed but it hasn't lost any of its blissful character: it's still an unspoilt haven of peace that's now devoted to culture, leisure and experience.
