Fun visits by night
The Tours Loire Valley Tourist Office and the City of Tours invite you to take part in some exceptional themed night-time tours! At dusk, the city's monuments and urban spaces are illuminated by the "Parcours Lumiere" light displays, for a stroll to discover its emblematic sites and the heritage of Tours.
On foot with a guide, by tuk-tuk or sidecar, choose the tour that's right for you!
And if you're more interested in nature and birdsong than monuments and culture, opt for a traditional boat trip on the Loire at dusk. Escape and relaxation guaranteed!
And memorable nights !
