The Gîte de la Tour de Guise, in a small quiet street, is close to the bustling Colbert Street, with its restaurants and bars.

Right next to the apartment, the Château de Tours, exhibition center and its famous TOUR DE GUISE which gave its name to our street and ... our gite.

By the rue de la Barre or the rue Jules Moineaux, you arrive at place François Sicard, ...

Then cross the garden of the place François Sicard, ...

We take again by the Rue de la Scellerie, with its antique dealers, and its art galleries, (do not miss the pretty gallery of Olivier Rousseau); and here we are at the Opera de Tours where you will be able to see and hear beautiful lyric and symphonic works.

Go back up the rue Jules Favre to discover the facade of the Hotel Beaune-Semblançay, vestige of the Renaissance architecture of the city.

Cross the Rue Nationale, shopping street of Tours, where you can take the Tram.

You are right next to the Contemporary Creation Center Olivier Debré (CCCOD)

In summer, you can even take the Calèche, for a little tour in town.

Here is finally our famous Place Plumereau and its half-timbered houses, classified by the Lonely Planet as being "the most beautiful Place de France to take the aperitif".

For us, it's simply "Place Plume" ...

Then, back to the apartment, via rue Colbert, with its magnificent medieval houses

Our apartment is ideally located to visit the "Châteaux de la Loire".

The list of our Castles is long! There is of course the unavoidable Chambord, Chenonceau, Amboise, Azay the Rideau, Blois, Chinon, Langeais, but also smaller and less famous castles as charming as the Castle of Islette or that of Gizeux.

From here you can easily visit the Beauval Zoo, or simply our wonderful Touraine crossed by the Loire so majestic, by bike, car or train.
