Built on the remains of the Gallo-Roman city of Caesarodunum, Saint-Gatien Cathedral stands in the heart of the city. This city was once one of the most famous places of pilgrimage in the West and is still one of the capitals of the Pays de Loire. Opening hours: Saint-Gatien Cathedral is open every day of the week from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm. From Easter to 11 November, you can meet the volunteers of the Présence Cathédrale association in the cathedral. You can recognise them by their badges. They can help you with your visit and answer your questions. For guided tours and group visits, which can take place all year round by reservation, please contact 07 66 39 84 11. For more information, visit their website: https://visite-cathedrale-tours.fr/ You can also visit the cloister of La Psalette, which is accessible via the cathedral.

nice places for cyclists or walkers! good sanitary facilities and friendly welcome

The Montlouis bridge is too busy with cars Try the railway bridge instead just after you arrive at Vouvray before La Frillière and take the cycle path on the left to go either towards Reugny or Tours

Pedestrian and cyclist bridge in Tours

Very beautiful entrance to the city of Tours from the cycle path which runs along the Loire

At first glance, it may seem surprising that a statue was dedicated to the Italian polymath LEONARDO da VINCI (1452 to 1519) here in the French Loire Valley. But you have to know that he spent the last years of his life in the neighboring castle of Le Clos Lucé at the invitation of the French king and died there on May 2, 1519. His grave is believed to be in the Hubertus Chapel - see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/958658 - but it is not certain whether his remains are actually there.

Very pleasant short 35km tour between the Loire and the vineyards (apart from 2km of departmental road)
