Great place to bivouac near Tours. Quite a bit of traffic because it's along a cycle path but there is a fountain not far from a picnic table. The Loire is right next door, so you can enjoy a magnificent setting.

This small town in Vouvrillon, dazzling with the white tuffeau stones that adorn its town center, is a little jewel of Loire paradise. Several renowned wine growers live on its hillsides. The village and its shops provide pleasant entertainment, especially on Thursday mornings during the weekly market. Several guest rooms are open to spend a night there.
