Accessible, practical, cultural, festive… Tours combines all the assets of a metropolis with the gentle Loire lifestyle.
A city of art, heritage and nature, firmly rooted in its time, Tours is the perfect place to combine study days with cultural interludes, work and social time. It’s easy to get to on foot or by bike, and only an hour from Paris. What else*?

- Stroll through the city’s many gardens (Beaux-Arts, Prébendes, Botanique…).
- Enjoy a festive interlude in Vieux-Tours around Place Plumereau.
