On the edge of the Touraine metropolitan area, the Bois des Hâtes and its maze of paths offer calm and serenity to those who wish to venture there. The famous Via Turonensis, the road to Santiago de Compostela which links Paris to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, passes through the woods.

After the construction of Cormery Abbey in 791, the town of Cormery developed around it. Inside the abbey there is a cloister, one of the best preserved refectories in France, and beautiful vaulted rooms.
