Located on the outskirts of the city of Tours, in the commune of La Riche, the priory of Saint-Cosme, which was part of a larger monastery, was the subject of a thorough study and a complete redevelopment. The history of the place, and more generally of the site, is now better known and is open to the discovery of the general public in a redesigned presentation.
This 7th issue of the Protected Heritage series offers the opportunity to thank all those who worked on this project. This multidisciplinary collaboration, led by departmental archaeologist Bruno Dufaÿ, was carried out under the scientific and technical supervision of the Regional Department of Archaeology and the Departmental Unit of Architecture and Heritage of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs of the Centre-Val de Loire.
This meticulous work made it possible to realize a synthesis on this remarkable site, considered at the time of Ronsard as one of the jewels of Touraine, and which knew great upheavals. This publication is therefore an opportunity to highlight the discoveries made and the methodology adopted for the various developments.
