Very beautiful town with its castle on the heights.

The animatronic show in the courtyard is not to be missed!

This preserved space is a paradise for ornithologists. Far from the traffic, the calm is distracted only by the solemn flow of the Loire and the beating of the wings of the herons surprised by your fortuitous appearance.

The Luynes aqueduct is an ancient Gallo-Roman aqueduct bridge. With an initial length of 500 meters, today only around 270 remain. According to estimates, the aqueduct carried water from a source located on one of the sides of the valley where it was built. The aqueduct would thus have made it possible to supply Malliacum (Roman name given to the town of Luynes) with running water.

In Tours, Lake Bergeonnerie is the meeting place for athletes. Throughout a route where you can come across jogging and street workout enthusiasts, find a bench or a patch of grass to observe the sailing school practicing on the placid waters of the lake.

In the heart of the medieval district of the city of Tours, Place Plumereau (“Plum’” for the Tourangeaux) is an entirely pedestrianized place. Many food shops mingle there in a particularly picturesque setting. Very popular with locals and tourists at the dawn of sunny days, it has been classified by Lonely Planet as “the most beautiful place in France to have an aperitif”. From the square, a maze of winding streets winds through old Tours. After a break on the terrace, set out to explore the numerous half-timbered houses, some dating from the 15th century. These constructions give an inexorable charm to the city.
