Descartes is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department in central France, located in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The town, formerly known as La Haye-en-Touraine, is notably the birthplace of the renowned French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650), after whom it was renamed in 1967.
This historical connection has significantly influenced the town's cultural identity, with several heritage sites dedicated to preserving Descartes' legacy, including his family home which now serves as a museum. The town sits along the Creuse River and maintains its characteristic charm of a small French commune while honoring its philosophical heritage.
