Quatrième de couverture

Tours

Surrounded by the Loire river to the north, the Cher river to the south, Tours is a desirable place in which to wander. Two boulevards cross path and cut the town in four very different neighbourhoods : the medieval district and martinien district, Prébendes and Lakanal-Strasbourg...

Thanks to this illustrated guide, you will know everything about Tours' history, about its architectural patrimony : its bridges, Aucard island, Marmoutier's Benedictine abbey, the old districts with its Saint-Pierre's basilica or Colbert's street, and its modern constructions, like the library or « le Vinci ».

At the end of the book, Patrick Prieur will have you discover the town's specialties, and will suggest some recipes from the tourangelle gastronomy to you.
