L'église se trouve au centre de l'ancien village. On en trouve trace dans des écrits datant de 1150. Elle a subit de nombreuses transformations. L'église, qui appartenait depuis au moins 1156 à l'abbaye de Villeloin, a été reconstruite aux XVe et XVIe siècles par Pierre Bérard, trésorier de France sous Charles VII (1446-1465) et ses descendants seigneurs de Chissay. La nef et la chapelle nord sont du XVe.Le choeur et la chapelle sud datent du XVIe. Le porche est du XVIIe. La tourelle d'escalier est appuyée contre le mur nord. La travée centrale date du deuxième quart du XVIe. L'église a pour particularité de ne pas avoir de clocher. Les cloches ont donc été placées dans le comble du choeur, côté nef. Les cloches se nomment Marie-Louise installée en 1816 et Marie-Madeleine installée en 1897.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/11935/91643517-fe24-4436-90ec-4a65d0f71d20.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Chissay-en-Touraine ![Hot air ballon ride in The Loire Valley France for my father's 60th birthday present. Hands down my favorite experience of this trip. We watched other balloons taking off from above while the sun began to set. We also got to see the chateaux we toured from a different perspective, gliding over Château de Chenonceau. Once we landed safely, we had a champagne toast. I highly recommend going on a hot air balloon ride in this area of France. It was absolutely breathtaking. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6213549/dce6cc7f-052c-4cfb-bbbc-dda0d67c968f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Civray-de-Touraine ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Francueil worth visiting? ### How do I spend a day in Francueil? ### What is the top tourist attraction in Francueil? ### Is three days enough to stay in Francueil? ### What are some activities to do in Francueil with kids? > - [Chenonceau Castle Admission Ticket](https://expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/chenonceau-castle-admission-ticket.a4549250.activity-details) > - [Amboise: Clos Lucé Castle, Da Vinci Park and Museum Ticket](https://expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/amboise-clos-luce-castle-da-vinci-park-and-museum-ticket.a5201483.activity-details) > - [Loire Valley: Château Royal d'Amboise Entrance Ticket](https://expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/loire-valley-chateau-royal-damboise-entrance-ticket.a5082917.activity-details) > - [Castles of Loire Valley From Paris Full-Day Tour](https://expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/castles-of-loire-valley-from-paris-full-day-tour.a171473.activity-details) > - [Loire Valley Amboise Royal Castle & Clos Luce Da Vinci Castle](https://expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/loire-valley-amboise-royal-castle-clos-luce.a5144738.activity-details) ### What to do in Francueil for adults? ### Are there free things to do in Francueil? ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
