While there are many sites to behold in the city of Tours, be sure to visit this cathedral. It took four hundred years to build, and was listed as an historic monument in 1862. Everything about it is astonishing to see, from the portals of the facade to the stained glass windows. The two towers each hold something significant in them: the north the royal stairs; the south the cathedral's bells. Aside from other Parisian-style gothic architecture, there are also the tombs of Charles VIII and Anne de Bretagne's children, all in the south chapel. There are plentiful cathedrals to visit when visiting this region; I'd make this one of them.

At the end of a long tree lined allée, come and explore a family castle with a royal past. The kings Louis XI and XIII loved to come to hunt at the estate. Hunting here is till a living tradition. The castle (16th-18th century) has been inhabited by the same family since 1728. From the kitchen with its impressive copper utensils to sumptuous decorated staterooms with an exceptional suite of tapestries from the 17th, the visit of Champchevrier is an unforgettable outing between refined elegance and nature.

Place Plumereau is a beautiful and rather picturesque area to visit. It is the centre of the old quarters of Tours and it offers some surprising appeal. The architecture of the buildings is rather interesting and many look quite old, but I am not sure how old they would be! The square is full of cafes and restaurants, and it would be easy to just sit at any of them and enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal. However visitors should really be very careful with their choice!
