The best things to see and do in Tours
Once an ancient Gallo-Roman city, Tours is now the capital of the Loire Valley. On the banks of the Loire and the Cher, a holiday here offers an ideal mix of culture and nature: visit the famous Loire castles, the rolling vineyards and the wild river landscapes.
If you're staying at a campsite in or near Tours, your trip simply must include a walk through the medieval heart of the city. Start at the famous Place Plumereau, with its delightful half-timbered houses. Here, you can admire the basilica of Saint-Martin, the Grand Theatre and the Saint-Gatien Cathedral. Stop on the Rue Nationale, famous for its chic boutiques, and pay a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts. In its park is a magnificent cedar tree, as well as a rather quirky sight of a stuffed elephant named Fritz, which are both extremely popular among Touraine residents.
On the Loire side, why not soak up the atmosphere of a summer guinguette or take a romantic cruise down the river on a traditional flat-bottomed boat? The Boutavant company even offers sunset cruises, complete with an aperitif and a chance to taste local Touraine products. Among the unmissable delicacies in Tours are rillettes, rillons, Sainte-Maure cheese and tapé pears. However, above all else is the delectable nougat with candied fruit.
Spend your days going sightseeing, exploring or shopping before heading back to relax at your campsite in Tours. Stretch out and chill on the terrace of your mobile home, or take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool.
