Tours is in the west of France along the Loire Valley. It is in the “département” of Indre et Loire and has about 130.000 inhabitants. During your stay there you’ll appreciate the city’s high quality of hospitality, while enjoying a quiet way of life. City of Art and History, an ancient Gallo-Roman settlement, and later the capital of the Kingdom of France, Tours has a range of attractions, from the Old city known as “Le Vieux Tours” to the famous Loire Valley Châteaux. The area offers a wide choice of visits and excursions from the numerous vineyards along the Loire Valley to some of France’s best known castles such as Chenonceau, Chambord or Amboise.

A one hour drive from Tours will take you to the Futuroscope in Poitiers for a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
