The city of Tours was founded in the 1st century on the left bank of the Loire. In the Middle Ages, two distinct sectors developed: one built around the Cathedral, the other around a huge collegiate church dedicated to Saint Martin, the Châteauneuf sector, also known as Vieux Tours. Tours was the royal capital from 1440 to 1520, and in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, almost all the city's residences were rebuilt. From this flourishing era, the city inherited a homogeneous ensemble of ancient residences and religious buildings, which you'll discover on this tour.
