Langeais Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Langeais bridge is an Eiffel bridge... Like the tower of the same name and the same engineer! It is both very resistant and fragile in winter if it freezes at -10°C. It may be closed during periods of severe frost. This bridge crosses the Loire offering superb views of the river and its surroundings.

The most beautiful cycle path in Tours. The Wilson bridge is now free of all motorized traffic, the road has become a track and offers a superb panorama of the Loire, without the sound of motors or horns. Gorgeous !

Saint-Gatien Cathedral, Tours

Highlight • Monument

The Cathedral of Saint-Gatien in Tours is one of the most remarkable buildings in the city. It was erected between 1170 and 1547 and classified as a historical monument in 1862.

Thanks to its very slow construction, the cathedral displays a very complete set of religious architecture: there are elements of the Romanesque style, others of the radiant and flamboyant Gothic style, and still others of the Renaissance style.

It is an essential stopover for pilgrims who take the paths of via Turonensis to get to Santiago de Compostela.
