Easy access to the motorway and plenty of free parking make this spot a road tripper’s dream.

Reno'd art deco stunner was built in 1927 by local architect Maurice Boille (interior design by Pierre Chareau).

Ideally situated near the Stadium of the ‘Cher Valley,’ Exhibition Parc of Tours, Palais des Congrès Vinci and the cathedral.

Rooms are classically charming with everyone’s favorite modern amenity – free WiFi.

Welcoming ivy-covered hideaway with a cooking school. Do it – if only for the excuse to casually mention later how you 'learned to cook in France.'

The Tours Train Station is an easy 5-min walk – maybe a little longer for chronic over-packers.

Overpacked? No prob. You’re a 1-min walk from the train station. (Annnd you have tons of outfit options.)

Tranquil countryside setting just 100 metres from the famous(!) Villandry(!) Castle(!).

Built around a lovely 18th-century manor, this boutique hotel is a quiet respite in the country.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Free WiFi’s a perk everyone can appreciate.
