Culture
The Chapelle de Seigne in Bléré is a funerary chapel unique in France, whose construction began in the 1520s–1530s. It was classified as a historic monument in 1875. Its richly decorated round-arched doorway is considered an outstanding example of early Renaissance architecture in the Loire Valley.
The Église Saint-Christophe has a two-aisled nave. It also includes a groin-vaulted choir and a semicircular apse covered by a domed vault.
Le moulin des Aigremonts is an authentic windmill of the Moulin cavier type, restored between 2004 and 2007. Le moulin des Aigremonts also offers the temporary escape game “Le secret de la farine d'or”. Participants have 60 minutes to uncover the miller's secret; the game runs from 4 May to 5 October.
