Brief History
Gregory of Tours who wrote the “Ten Books of History” played an important role in the history of the city in the 6th century when he restored the cathedral that was burned down in 561. Tours was composed of two competing centers during the Middle Ages. One was under the palace of the archbishops and the other was under the Counts of Anjou. The city was named the capital of Touraine and the Counts of Anjou won over the dispute between them and the counts of Blois in the 9th century.
Events, Landmarks, Activities
Thousands of people gather during the Tours Expo held at the Parc des Expositions every month of May. There are more than 700 stands exhibited during this annual event that features on different countries and there is a food village where one can sample international specialties. Tours takes pride of its beautiful churches including the Basilica of St. Martin and the Cathedral of St. Gatien. A treat for art lovers is a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts of Tours while nature lovers enjoy strolling around Jardin botanique de Tours.
Transportation
Tours is a walkable city, but some prefer riding the bicycle to get around the city. There are excellent bike paths coming from Loire to Villandry. Renting a car would be the best choice for those who want to visit the Loire Valley and the surrounding areas. The fastest way to reach Paris coming from tours is via the TGV train.
