Tours is a city and the capital of
the Indre-et-Loire department in central France. It is located
on the lower reaches of the river Loire, between Orléans
and the Atlantic coast. Tours is the most appealing of the major
Loire cities. The pedestrianized Place Plumereau is the most
atmospheric quarter, with half-timbered facades, hidden courtyards
and crooked towers. The Cathedrale St-Gatien has a flamboyant
Gothic facade that is blackened and crumbling, but still very
impressive, and medieval stained-glass windows. |
