Rochecorbon riverside tavern

Highlight • Restaurant

The Rochecorbon tavern is located facing the Loire, in a most natural setting. From its terraces, the panoramic view of the wild Loire is breathtaking.

Considered one of the largest taverns in France, its restaurants, bars and dance halls welcome the public every day from the beginning of May to the end of September. In a friendly, family atmosphere, don’t hesitate to stop there for a cold drink or a hearty meal.

Saint-Symphorien Footbridge (Pont de Fil)

Highlight • Bridge

The Saint-Symphorien footbridge (called “Pont de fil” among the Tourangeaux) is a pedestrian and cycle footbridge. It was built from 1845 to 1847 by the Seguin brothers, on the remains of the city's old medieval bridge. At night, the blue neon lights that light up the footbridge give it very modern hues.

Saint-Symphorien Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

All along this bridge, you can see the Loire from top to bottom. It really is a place worth a stop.

Saint-Gatien Cathedral, Tours

Highlight • Monument

The Cathedral of Saint-Gatien in Tours is one of the most remarkable buildings in the city. It was erected between 1170 and 1547 and classified as a historical monument in 1862.

Thanks to its very slow construction, the cathedral displays a very complete set of religious architecture: there are elements of the Romanesque style, others of the radiant and flamboyant Gothic style, and still others of the Renaissance style.

It is an essential stopover for pilgrims who take the paths of via Turonensis to get to Santiago de Compostela.

Tours Castle

Highlight • Castle

Medieval castle of the 11th century, the castle of Tours is one of the forgotten buildings of the great constructions which border the Loire. Destroyed during the 18th century, it was in fact only partially rebuilt to serve as barracks.

Today, the castle houses multiple exhibitions, open throughout the year. Lovers of painting, sculpture, engraving, drawing, photography or video, do not hesitate to schedule a visit!
