Tours, gateway to the fabulous and impressive châteaux of the Loire, is sometimes referred to as the Garden of France in view of its numerous public parks and gardens. It has a picturesque old quarter where narrow, cobbled streets are lined with old half timbered houses and shops and the city's proud monuments include the very impressive Gothic cathedral, St Martin Basilica and the Hotel Gouin which is a splendid example of Renaissance architecture. There are also museums, guided tours run by the tourist office and leisurely boat rides along the river Loire.

This is, of course, wine country, so there are plenty of good vineyards in the area that you can visit. Or why not drive to Azay le Rideau (26km) and visit the château there - if you present your Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网 ticket on arrival you will benefit from a reduction on the entrance fee https://tickets.monuments-nationaux.fr/en-GB/home »
