Travelling to Tours

Travel to Tours

Less than an hour from Paris, Tours is a charming medieval city with a long and rich history. Known as the "garden of France", this blossoming, green city is also conveniently close to the Loire Valley with its hundreds of beautiful châteaux set among rolling green pastures and ancient vineyards. Scattered along the "Valley of Kings", beside the river Loire, you'll find 59 historic places which are all worth a visit. Both Balzac and Rabelais praised this corner of Touraine where the vine reigns supreme.
