Tours is a city that Balzac particularly admired and wrote; “ a cheerful, loving, fresh and blossoming city, more fragrant than any other city in the world...”
A beautiful city with a population of 270 000 inhabitants, it is the most densely populated city within the Loire Valley, ahead of Orléans and Angers.
> The Loire Valley
The region is registered under UNESCO's World Heritage list. The Loire Valley offers beautiful nature preserves, wild flowers and calm rivers. It is well known for its historic heritage, outstanding architecture, vineyards and forests.
From the Middle Ages, the Loire Valley became the preferred region for France's Kings. Along the Loire and its streams, the following enchanting châteaux were built: Azay-le-Rideau, Chambord, Cheverny, Amboise, Chenonceau and many more!
The fortified towns have witnessed several wars, between Anjou and the Kingdom of France.
Between Orléans and Angers, the Loire offers an exceptional landscape. Tours is the most important city in the Loire Valley. Its central position allows visitors to easily explore other beautiful areas in the region.
