A family story In 1962, a 10-year-old boy, Louis-Marie CHARDON came to play in a great exploration field. His father André CHARDON had just acquired this property to enlarge the family tree farm. Only the land on the hillside was planted with apple trees, and the area in the valley was abandoned in a jumble of brambles. Thus, little by little, Louis-Marie discovered troglodyte dwellings and the idea of putting all this back into value was born. In 1982, Louis-Marie inherited the place and immediately went to work in his spare time, in addition to his job as an arborist and discovered the 53rd and last underground refuge-Touraine known to date. 15 years later, the site comes back to life ... The Troglodyte Valley of Goupillières was born and Louis-Marie CHARDON opened it to the public in 2000

This is a site with many stories: I'll talk about a wide range of subjects including womens history, mysterious graffiti, technological and scientific changes, peoples beliefs, dietary changes, garden history and what drove the economy when the chateau was built. Some powerful female characters have occupied this place - some of them you will have heard of, some will be new names for you. but all are fascinating. I'll cover a bit of modern history too - what happened here during the two World Wars. I'm very happy to tailor the presentation to clients interests. If there is interest I can cover medicine, engineering, textile manufacturing, transport and more, all of which can be demonstrated by elements of this magnificent site. But the lives and loves of the women who lived here will not be forgotten in all of this. Nor will the beautiful objects inside. My background is not art history, but collections care and the behind the scenes management of historic sites.
