The Chateau des Ormes, situated on the RN 10 between Tours and Poitiers in the Ormes commune, has been a place of intrigue since its construction in 1642 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert's uncles, Antoine-Martin and Henri Pussort. The chateau later passed to the Voyer d'Argenson family, who were prominent figures during the Age of Enlightenment. They hosted renowned guests such as Voltaire and Diderot in the 18th century. The chateau's history is full of secrets and hidden gems that speak to its fascinating past.
