Located at Bourré, a small, picturesque town with many quarries and troglodytic houses exists also an underground Magnanerie (silk worm farm). This is the only underground silk worm farm we know of. It is located inside a cliff on the northern side of the Loire, a three level cave house. The silworm farm is operated since the 17th century. The guided tour includes the secrets of silk worm farming and the quarrying of the local rocks which created the underground space.
