There are two ways for a quick overview of the city: one is the mini-train for an informative tour of the city with commentary about the monuments, and two is the old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage for a quiet, leisurely ride around the city.
The Cathédrale St-Gatien is built in the Gothic style with lanterns from the Renaissance age and stained glass from the late Middle Ages.
The streets of the Old Quarter are still lined with half-timbered houses from the Middle Ages. Place Plumereau, with numerous cafes, restaurants and bars, is especially popular with the large student population.
The Musée des Beaux-Arts attracts visitors because of its collection of works by masters like Rembrandt, Delacroix and others.
Tours is an ideal base to explore the surrounding Loire Valley. It has good connections to the renowned chateaux in the area as well as the wine-producing towns.
