Tours Heritage Trail

This trail through Tours showcases the city's evolution from a Gallo-Roman stronghold to a medieval religious center. Highlights include the Flamboyant Gothic Cathédrale Saint-Gatien, the remains of the 11th-century Basilica of Saint Martin, and the Renaissance-style Hôtel Goüin. The route connects grand ecclesiastical architecture with private mansions, such as the ruins of Hôtel de Beaune-Semblançay, and ancient fortifications like the 4th-century Roman walls and the 12th-century Chapelle Saint-Libert.
