Le Manoir de Thoré
Le fief de Thoré relevait du château d'Amboise et fut acquis en 1515 par Thomas Bohier. En 1557, Diane de Poitiers le fit incorporer à la châtellenie de Chenonceaux . En 1770, le fief appartenait à Étienne François de Bray. On pense que le château a été construit au XVIIe siècle. En 1862, Thoré appartenait à Henri Cochard - Directeur des Contributions Indirectes à Châteauroux - qui le fit remodeler en 1865. Avec le Manoir de Bois Pataud à Bléré, en 1891 le Thoré passa entre les mains de sa fille, Louise Hélène Roux, épouse du compositeur Fernand Maurice Burdin d'Entremont.

In 1770, the stronghold belonged to Étienne François de Bray. The castle is believed to have been built in the 17th century. In 1862, Thoré belonged to Henri Cochard - Director of Indirect Contributions in Châteauroux - who had it remodeled in 1865. With Manoir de Bois Pataud à Bléré, in 1891 the manor passed into the hands of his daughter, Louise Hélène Roux, wife of the composer Fernand Maurice Burdin d'Entremont.
