Tours

Tours sits at the heart of the Loire Valley, one of France's most rewarding corners for history, architecture, and food, and catching a Tours bus from Paris or Bordeaux with FlixBus puts you right in the middle of it all without the hassle of driving. The city is lively and walkable, with a well-preserved medieval quarter, world-class museums, and easy access to some of the Loire's most spectacular châteaux. There are so many things to do in Tours that a single weekend barely scratches the surface.

Historic and religious sites

Cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours is the city's most striking landmark, a Gothic cathedral whose construction stretched across four centuries — from the 13th to the 16th — which is exactly why its façade layers so many different styles on top of one another. Step inside to see the original 15th-century stained-glass windows, which have survived remarkably intact. The cloister attached to the north side, known as La Psalette, is quieter and often overlooked, making it a worthwhile detour after you've taken in the main nave.

Basilique Saint-Martin de Tours stands on one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in medieval Europe. This is where Saint Martin, the patron saint of France, was buried in the 4th century. The current neo-Byzantine basilica dates from the late 19th century and was built over the ruins of an earlier church. Two towers from the original medieval structure still stand nearby, giving you a sense of just how grand the original complex once was. The crypt beneath the basilica holds Saint Martin's tomb and draws visitors from across the world year-round.

Castles and palaces

Château de Chenonceau is arguably the most photographed château in France, and it earns every shot. Built across the River Cher on a series of arches, it stretches elegantly over the water in a way that feels almost theatrical. The interior is filled with Flemish tapestries and period furniture, but it's the long gallery spanning the river — used as a military hospital during World War I — that tends to stop visitors in their tracks. Plan at least half a day and take the bus to Tours as your base for the trip.

Château Royal d'Amboise rises dramatically above the town of Amboise, just 25 kilometres east of Tours, and rewards the short journey with sweeping views over the Loire. Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life here as a guest of King François I, and his tomb sits in the chapel of Saint-Hubert on the château grounds. The royal apartments give a vivid picture of French Renaissance court life, and the terrace alone, overlooking the river and the rooftops below, is worth the entrance fee.

Gardens

Château de Villandry is best known not for its architecture but for its extraordinary formal gardens, which spread across several terraces and rank among the finest Renaissance gardens in Europe. The ornamental kitchen garden, planted in geometric patterns with vegetables and flowers, is particularly striking and changes with the seasons. Come in summer for the fullest colour, or in early autumn when the harvest gives the beds a warmer, earthier palette.

Jardin Botanique de Tours offers a more relaxed afternoon than the grand châteaux. Located close to the city centre, this municipal botanical garden is home to a wide variety of plant species, a small greenhouse, and a peaceful rose garden. It's a good place to slow down between sightseeing, and children tend to enjoy the animal enclosure tucked into one corner of the grounds.

Museums

Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours is housed in the former Archbishop's Palace, right next to the cathedral, which makes it easy to combine both in a single visit. The collection spans painting and sculpture from the 14th century through to the 20th, with works by Mantegna, Rubens, and Rembrandt among the highlights. The building itself, with its grand staircase and formal gardens containing a giant cedar of Lebanon, is as much a reason to visit as the art inside.

Musée du Compagnonnage is one of the most distinctive museums in the Loire Valley, dedicated to the French tradition of the compagnons — skilled craftsmen who travelled across France to perfect their trades. Housed in the medieval cellars of the Abbaye Saint-Julien, the museum displays over 400 masterpieces made by apprentices as proof of their skills: intricate staircases built in miniature, elaborate pastry sculptures, and finely worked metalwork. It's a fascinating window into a tradition that UNESCO added to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2010.

Place Plumereau is the social heart of old Tours, a medieval square ringed by half-timbered 15th-century houses that lean gently towards each other overhead. Café terraces fill the square from spring through autumn, and the surrounding lanes of the Vieux-Tours neighbourhood are ideal for an evening wander. It's the kind of place where you sit down for one coffee and find yourself still there an hour later.

Prieuré de Saint-Cosme lies just outside the city centre and offers a quietly moving experience. These are the ruins of a medieval priory where the Renaissance poet Pierre de Ronsard served as prior from 1565 until his death in 1585 and where he is buried. The partially standing church walls, the rose garden planted in his memory, and the small house where he lived combine to make this one of the most atmospheric stops on any Tours itinerary.

If you're arriving on a bus to Tours for a long weekend, or using the city as a base for the wider Loire Valley, FlixBus makes it easy to get here. Pack your bags and let Tours do the rest.
