Capturing all that’s good about the Loire Valley, the city of Tours is popular both as a stop on a tour of the Indre-et-Loire département and as a destination for a relaxing holiday. Whether you come to sample the fine wines and culture or enjoy fine scenery and outdoor pursuits, this is a vacation destination with universal appeal.

Tours has its own international airport, the Tours Val de Loire Airport, located about five miles (eight kilometres) from the city centre. The airport maintains scheduled connections with London, Dublin and Figari and chartered connections with Budapest, Bulgaria, Crete and Morocco. Alternatively, visitors can fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle, an airport with a significantly greater number of connections and the major gateway to the country.
