Medieval castle of the 11th century, the castle of Tours is one of the forgotten buildings of the great constructions which border the Loire. Destroyed during the 18th century, it was in fact only partially rebuilt to serve as barracks.

Today, the castle houses multiple exhibitions, open throughout the year. Lovers of painting, sculpture, engraving, drawing, photography or video, do not hesitate to schedule a visit!

Forget Chambord allure. This castle was:
A. a strategic fortress
B. a royal residence
C. part of the defenses along the Loire
It dates largely from the 11th to the 15th century and has a primarily military appearance. Sturdy, compact, no-frills.

It is located:
– right on the Loire
– next to the Pont Wilson
– between Place Anatole France and Vieux Tours
