Hotels near Tours Val de Loire Airport - TUF, Tours

Tours is too big for us (prefer smaller towns such as Boise and Amboise. The old town is vibrant with lots of pubs and variety of restaurants. Didn't see too much of the rest of the town given its size

Beautiful walks along the Loire, fantastic hosts, birdlife and troglodyte accommodation at Loire Sauvage, great little restaurants, pâtisseries, food store and souvenir shop, and the troglodyte housing around Rochecorbon is fascinating.

Great venue. 10 minute walk from small village with friendly bar and baker shop but no other eating facilities. You have to drive about 7km for restaurants and when we stayed there were no facilities for an evening meal at the venue. Didn't woirry us as we seemed to be almost celebrities in the village bar!

Tours is a great city. Excellent information Bureau near the railway station. Limited shops and restaurants near the stations, but major chains along Rue Nationale which leads to the two historic areas of Tours: the Cathedral Precinct and the Historical Old City Precinct. Fabulous old 12th Century buildlings, squares, cobbled streets, bars and restaurants - fabulous ambiance and well worth a visit. One of the highlights of my visit. Undertook a half day excursion on the second day to two chateaux (Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau) in the Loire Valley - another highlight with an excellent guide.

The Village of Rochecorbon is an interesting place, with signed walks giving the village history and is located next to the river Loire. It has a couple of Local shops and two Boulangeries. It is a convenient location for visiting by car, places like Chateau Chenonceau, Amboise, and Villandry. Can get a bus into Tours. Its part of the Vouvray wine district with a Cave wine tour in the village.

Tours is a bustling and unspoilt French provincial city. There are many historic and beautiful buildings. churches the chateau and the Musee des Beaux Arts. Streets have many fascinating visitas. It is also a cosmopolitan city with communities from around the world adding to its fascination. Today there was an amazing market which filled many of the streets in the centre of the city selling all sorts of new and vintage items, as well as a range of foods.
