Parks and Gardens

Tours features a variety of green spaces, from the 19th-century landscape design of the Jardin des Prébendes d'Oé to the natural river environments of Île Aucard and Île Simon. The city's botanical heritage is showcased in the formal gardens of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, home to a historic Lebanon cedar, and the Jardin François Sicard near the cathedral. These sites provide a mix of structured French gardens, English-style parks, and wilder island landscapes along the Loire.
