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.

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.
