Tours City Breaks 

Tours City Breaks | Short Breaks in Tours from Treyn Holidays

The lively capital of the Loire Valley region is famous across France for its fine food and wine. That the 'Touraine' should be held in such high regard is quite an achievement in a country that prides itself on its dedication to food and drink.

The city stands on both the River Loire and the River Cher, with a picturesque Old Town which is built on the narrow peninsula between the two rivers. The city has managed to combine beautiful modern architecture and historic buildings in almost perfect harmony. However, the charm of Tours is complemented enormously by several famous chateaux that are located within an hour's drive of the city - a drive that takes you through the pretty, endless vineyards that surround Tours.
