According to legend, La Devinière is the birthplace of Rabelais. This modest 15th century farmhouse was used by the author as the setting for Gargantua's epic battles with his neighbour Picrochole. The museum also features a remarkable troglodyte dwelling. An exceptional collection of engravings, drawings and prints by artists who have been inspired by the work of Rabelais (Matisse, Derain, Brayer, Dubout...) and the myth of Gargantua. There are some rare editions of Rabelais and furniture from 16th-18th centuries.
