And on site you've got the swimming pools of the water park, outdoor leisure options and sports, evening entertainment, facilities for the whole family etc. Just let yourself be pampered so you can focus fully on your holiday!
Visit Tours with the family
Tours is a vibrant, culture-focused and historic city that the whole family will just love. If you're exploring it with the kids, then just head for Place Plumereau, where the timber-framed houses will take you back to the heart of the Middle Ages, when adventures were a constant feature!
On foot or by bike, set off along the Parcours Lumière of "VieuxTours", right through the old city. This is a way of discovering the city's emblematic locations and finding out about their history: the garden of Saint-Pierre Le Puellier, the church of Saint-Denis, Place Châteauneuf etc. You'll soon know the city like the back of your hand!
Visit Tours as a couple
Well-known for its rich architectural heritage, Tours is also a real foodies' destination. With your other half, you'll find just the place in the historic city centre for enjoying some of the food and wine options to which Tours holds the key.
And in summer, you won't be able to go home without stopping off at the famous Tours sur Loire guinguette (dance café). Here, you can eat, sing and dance, as well as enjoy a boat trip along the Loire together!
