About Tours
Founded as a Roman settlement, Tours flourished in the Middle Ages as a major pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Martin. Its golden age arrived during the Renaissance when it became a favored residence of French kings, transforming into a center of silk production and fine arts. This rich history is palpable in its architecture, from the imposing Gothic façade of Tours Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Gatien) to the perfectly preserved medieval quarter around Place Plumereau. The city is famously known as the birthplace of French as the official language (the 'Touraine dialect' was chosen as the standard) and for its pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War with Joan of Arc. Today, Tours is a dynamic city celebrated for its university life, beautiful botanical gardens (Jardin Botanique), and as the premier starting point for exploring the Loire Valley's iconic castles like Chenonceau and its renowned vineyards. The city is divided into distinct districts: the historic Vieux Tours, the modern administrative and shopping center around Rue Nationale, the tranquil Île Aucard on the river, and the bustling train station area.
Best Time to Visit Tours
The best time to visit Tours is from late spring to early autumn (May to October), when the weather is most pleasant for exploring gardens, castles, and outdoor cafes. The peak season is July and August, offering warm temperatures and a full calendar of events like the Summer Nights festival in Tours and vibrant village fetes, but also bringing larger crowds. For a balance of good weather and fewer tourists, consider the shoulder seasons of May-June and September-October. These months provide mild temperatures ideal for cycling along the Loire and wine tasting in the vineyards. Winter (November to March) is the off-peak season; it's colder and rainier, but you'll find fewer tourists and lower prices. The city is still charming, with Christmas markets in December. Major seasonal events include the Garden Festival at the Château de Villandry in spring, the Loire Valley Wine Harvest in September, and the Tours International Film Festival in November.
Where to Stay in Tours
The historic heart, a maze of half-timbered medieval and Renaissance buildings centered on the iconic Place Plumereau. Packed with cafes, restaurants, and boutiques.
The modern commercial center, a grand 19th-century boulevard lined with shops, banks, and major retailers. More formal and bustling during the day.
A peaceful, residential island in the Cher River, connected to the city by bridges. Offers serene walks, parks, and views of the city from a unique perspective.
A residential district south of the center, known for its beautiful 19th-century villas, the Jardin Botanique, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts. Elegant and calm.
The bustling transport hub, convenient for train arrivals/departures and day trips. Functional with chain hotels and eateries, but less charming than the center.
A lively, popular district west of the center, known for its market square, local shops, and authentic neighborhood feel. Well-connected by tram.
