Saint-Cosme priory – Ronsard House

In the heart of the gardens inspired by both the
Medieval and Renaissance periods, Saint-Cosme priory founded in the 11th century reveals its Roman and Gothic remains. Pierre
de Ronsard became the prior in 1565.
Description
Mignonne allons voir si la rose… The rose is on highlight in the gardens of the priory that was home to Pierre de Ronsard, on the outskirts of Tours. The "prince of poets" became the prior in 1565 and died here in 1585. The prior's house was built in the 14th century and still contains his bedroom and study. The refectory boasts a magnificent roman pulpit and was fitted with 14 unique windows created by the painter Zao Wou-Ki, in 2010.
