With 7 days in Tours, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights.

Por Qué Visitar Tours
A living Renaissance city: The historic center, with its perfectly preserved half-timbered houses around Place Plumereau and the stunning Saint-Gatien Cathedral, offers an immersive journey into 15th and 16th-century France without the overwhelming crowds of larger cities.
A world-class wine region at your doorstep: The city is the capital of the Touraine wine region, famous for its elegant, flinty Vouvray (Chenin Blanc) and fruity Chinon (Cabernet Franc). Numerous cellars and wine bars in town offer tastings and direct purchases from local vignerons.
A dynamic and authentic French atmosphere: Home to one of France's oldest universities, Tours buzzes with a youthful, intellectual energy. This creates a lively café culture, affordable dining, and a genuine, less touristy vibe compared to other French urban centers.
