Here, perhaps more than anywhere else, the Loire and its tuffeau limestone slopes form an ideal setting for the majesty of the great Loire châteaux, the art of gardening and the cultivation of vines. At the heart of the Loire Valley, Touraine is renowned for its gentle way of life. Come and share it with our Greeters.
Touraine is one of the former provinces of France, heir to the civitas Turonensis, or city of the Turones, from which it takes its name.

Thank you, Philippe. We had a very enjoyable morning with you. You were very informative and provided good insight into the history and buildings of Tours. We would recommend you to any fellow travellers. Thank you, Grant and Libby.

It was an informative walk that showed us Tours differently. Christine Pousse is pleasant and knows her city well. We are delighted that we chose a Greeter because she introduced us to places we would never have visited. Thank you again for giving us your time.
