About Tours
Tours, the historic heart of the Loire is best known for its fine wines, fabulous Chateaux and the purity of the local accent.
Tours is a fascinating University city to be enjoyed all year round whatever your age or interests!
It is a fascinating mediaeval town, part of which was destroyed during the war. Vieux Tours has been restored and forms the heart of the city with half-timbered houses, restaurants for all budgets, cafes galore and plenty of shops and is very popular with students and visitors alike. Traditional street markets are open most mornings, throughout the year. Twice a week you can explore the Bvd Beranger Flower Market or the Antiques & Flea Market in the Place de la Victoire.
There are plenty of museums to enjoy, two of the most notable being the Musee des Beaux Arts and the Touraine Wine Museum, which recounts the history of wine-growing and making.
Home to some 30,000 university students, Tours is a friendly and lively city, with a multitude of restaurants and terrace cafes to suit all budgets just a few seconds from the college.
Language students of all ages enjoy exploring this delightful city, which has so much to offer the visitor throughout the year.
Local Specialities
The Touraine is a land of good food and good living, and of course great wine - Vouvray, and the red wines of Chinon. The Touraine is famed for its local specialities: rillettes (goose or pork pate), andouillette (tripe sausage), geline, coq-au-vin with Chinon wine, delicious Ste Maure goat cheese, macaroons made by the monks of Cormery, and barley sugar.
