MUSÉE JOACHIM DU BELLAY

“Le Grand Logis, a 16th-century mansion with a turret, plunges you into the heart of the Renaissance, a glorious period in the history of France, through its Angevin poet Joachim Du Bellay. Immerse yourself in the poet’s time, life and work. The rooms, decorated in the spirit of the period, recall the poet’s beautiful journey from the Loire to Rome. Take the opportunity to try your hand at Renaissance calligraphy using a real quill pen! Children are invited to explore the museum in a fun way, either by filling in a games booklet or by taking part in two digital tours using the Baludik application (tablets can be borrowed from the museum). There’s plenty to do all year round, with a rich and varied programme tailored to different audiences. Check them out on the website. Average length of visit: 1h00-1h30.
