Tours Old Town

Tours, France

Tours is famous for its original medieval district, called le Vieux Tours. Unique to the Old City are its preserved half-timbered buildings and la Place Plumereau, a square with busy pubs and restaurants, whose open-air tables fill the centre of the square. The Boulevard Beranger crosses the Rue Nationale at the Place Jean-Jaures and is the location of weekly markets and fairs.

dai moro (6 years ago)
Un bello spettacolo luminoso, animato, sonoro, proiettato sulla cattedrale, a cui è facile assistere in molte cittadine francesi, almeno nel periodo estivo.
