Cormery

Cormery spans 16.07 square kilometers with an elevation ranging from 57 to 94 meters above sea level, watered by the Indre River flowing through the area.

The Abbey of Cormery was established in 791 by Ithier of Saint Martin, abbot of the Basilica of Saint Martin in Tours and chancellor of Emperor Charlemagne.

The town's coat of arms displays a golden double-headed eagle on a black background and three golden fleurs-de-lis on blue, reflecting its medieval and religious heritage.

Located 21 kilometers from Tours and 18 kilometers from Joué-lès-Tours, the commune is easily accessible via departmental roads for visitors exploring the region.

The abbey houses a 12th-century lantern of the dead, classified as a historical monument since 1920, which some scholars believe to be a hosanna cross.
