Things to See and Do in Tours
Just a short 15 minute car journey from the centre of Tours, you simply must explore the heart of this area. Start off at the Old Town and marvel at the half timber houses that are dotted around here. The stunning Cathedral is also worthy of a visit.
For a relaxing afternoon, why not visit the Botanical Gardens? Amble around the different areas and make the most of the wide variety of flora and fauna here.
There is also a Fine Arts Museum, so make sure that you allocate enough time to explore this thoroughly. For a true taste of this area of France, wander around the covered markets and why not treat yourself to some local delicacies?
Day Trips From Tours - Explore the Loire Valley
Some of the best chateaux are only a stone’s throw from Tours itself such as those in Amboise and Villandry. Explore some of the vineyards around Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire and purchase some souvenirs.
Le Mans is also fairly close by and should provide plenty of entertainment for a day out. Amble along the cobbled streets and soak up the atmosphere. View the remnants of a Roman wall and baths and relax and watch the world go by in a local café.
Drive to Berry and visit the cathedral, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the centre of the town and marvel at its half-timber buildings. Just a short distance away, you will find Noirlac Abbey, a fantastically well preserved monastery.
Journey to Château de Cheverny, which you may well recognise from Tintin. Embark on a boat trip through the gardens once you have exhausted the house itself.
