Tours Travel Guide
France
Tours is a French city of 141,621 people in the Loire Valley, in central France. It is a useful base for exploring the surrounding region and its historic Loire landscape.
Most air travellers arrive via Val de Loire Airport (TUF), the airport serving the city. Tours is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips are not a central part of a stay here.
