Turquant Arts and Crafts Village

Highlight • Structure

Between the Loire and the hills, Turquant welcomes, in season, craftsmen and a Métiers d'Art boutique in a remarkably restored troglodyte site.

Several designers open their workshops to the public and passionately share their expertise.

Today, you can wander around the troglodytes between tradition and modernity to discover all their originality.
