We can’t resist a stroll in the nearby Jardin de la Préfecture.

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

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

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

Beautiful 17th-century castle perfect for keeping Ostrogoths out and comfort in.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Ideally situated in a quiet part of Doue la Fontaine, it's convenient to all the local attractions including the zoo.

Right in the heart of this spa town, close to the Casino, Spa Source and Golf de la Roche-Posay.

Brag-worthy address in the city centre (perf if you're in the mood to explore on foot).

Prime location overlooking the Loire and walking distance from the centre.

"I love parallel parking," said no one ever. Make it a stress-free arrival with free parking.
