3 days in Indre-et-Loire Itinerary

Famous for its original medieval district, Tours is famous for its cafes that serve regional wines and interesting architectural bridges crossing the river Loire.

Visit Cathedrale Saint-Gatien and Le Chateau du Clos Luce - Parc Leonardo da Vinci for their historical value. Get out of town with these interesting Tours side-trips: Chateau d'Usse (in Rigny-Usse), Chateau Royal d'Amboise (in Amboise) and Chateau de Chenonceau (in Chenonceaux). There's lots more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Chateau de Villandry, step into the grandiose world of Chateau of Azay-le-Rideau, and contemplate the long history of Chateau de Langeais.
