Architectural heritage of Tours
A walk to discover the architectural heritage of Tours. Must-see sites, but also pretty, discreet places that I have discovered over the years.
Remarkable trees in Tours
The city of Tours has three trees and a garden classified as remarkable by the A.R.B.R.E.S. association (Arbres Remarquables: Bilan, Recherche, Études et Sauvegarde - Remarkable Trees: Assessment, Research, Studies and Preservation). Discover them on this walk, which will also introduce you to other beautiful trees in Tours and several small and large public gardens. The tram connects the starting and finishing points.
La Fayette in the Indre valley towards Reignac-sur-Indre
Starting from Reignac-sur-Indre or Azay-sur-Indre, this loop offers a beautiful variety of landscapes and lovely heritage surprises. Between the two villages, each dominated by a castle, you will walk through the green valley where the Indre flows, cross a forest where a majestic tree awaits you and stroll across the agricultural plateau.
On the lands of the Marquis de La Fayette
In addition to three beautiful castles, two of which belonged to the Marquis de La Fayette, you will discover a ghost farm, a very old oak tree, a few mills, rocky outcrops, rivers, streams, a spring, a pond and a canal.
The small and large loops of the Échandon Valley from Tauxigny
This loop connects the two villages of Tauxigny and Saint-Bauld. Starting from Tauxigny, you will set off into the Échandon valley to reach the village of Saint-Bauld. Water is omnipresent here, so keep an eye on the Échandon and its tributaries, which you will cross via footbridges and small bridges. Several surprising places are hidden near these waterways...
In the heart of the woods from Tauxigny-Saint-Bauld
From the charming village of Tauxigny-Saint-Bauld, head into the countryside with this circular route. Cross a few fields and you will soon find yourself deep in the woods, following small paths and winding trails. Breathe in the fresh air – the Tauxigny countryside is good for you!
The Mill Trail from Tauxigny
From Tauxigny-Saint-Bauld, set off on a short excursion along the Échandon to discover a valley dotted with mills and dominated by nature. And for the more dreamy among you, you'll even have the chance to gaze at the stars...
The rose bushes of the Indrois
In the Lochois region, Chédigny, the "Village of Roses", is the only village to be classified as a "Remarkable Garden". I invite you to discover it from Azay-sur-Indre, a small historic village located at the confluence of the Indre and Indrois rivers. The route passes through varied landscapes: woods, meadows and fields, floodplains, marshy areas and riverbanks.
Roses and mills from Saint-Quentin-sur-Indrois
Starting from Saint-Quentin-sur-Indrois, you can choose between two different loops. The first, towards Chédigny, will take you through the rolling countryside to discover the 1,000 rose bushes in this village, which has been awarded the Jardin Remarquable label. The other loop will allow you to discover the Indrois, its meanders, its mills and hidden monuments. But as the choice is difficult, you can also choose to do both loops since they are connected to form a single one!
