This is the rear façade of the 12th to 16th century priory which gave its name to the village of Les Hermites not far from Château-Renault. Below is the less successfully renovated front façade. The walls are 1 m 10 thick.
Voici la façade arrière du prieuré construit du 12e au 16e siècle qui a donné son nom au village Les Hermites en Indre-et-Loire. Ci-dessous la façade avant rénovée avec moins de succès. Les murs ont un mètre dix d’épaisseur.
