Vonnes and its history
The manor of Vonnes was built in 1610 by Horace des Jardins, comptroller general of wars and mayor of Tours. The building rests on older foundations and the spiral staircase was also probably a remnant of the old construction.



The manor of Vonnes has undergone few transformations over the centuries: it was probably never completed. It lacks skylights, the floor has not been partitioned while two fireplaces are installed there and have never been used. The door and window tax put the building to sleep: almost all the openings were walled up in 1822. Vonnes then became a farm.



In the same family since 1735, Vonnes begins to be reborn in 1939 thanks to Jean de Montlivault who rehouses the farmers in the annex building and undertakes the restoration which will last three generations: progressive opening of windows and skylights, repair of ceilings, floors, creation a terraced garden on the south side and demolition of agricultural buildings on the north side; creation of a balustrade for the porch, repair of the roofs, restoration of the spiral staircase... Today, Vonnes has almost regained its charm of yesteryear.
