A gateway city to France's Loire Valley châteaux, known for the Vienne River and white wines.

📍 Destination Overview

Tours, the largest city of France's Loire Valley, lies between the Loire and Cher rivers, part of the UNESCO-listed valley. Reach Chambord, Chenonceau and Villandry from here easily. The old town centres on Place Plumereau's timber-framed houses, and Saint-Gatien Cathedral has a glorious Gothic flame facade. A gastronomic capital for rillettes and Vouvray, an hour from Paris by TGV.
