Rich with history and a well preserved heritage, Tours is a city of captivating charm. It is the original home of the French language, the "art de vivre", and is a modern, lively and dynamic centre: with a thriving university, cultivated economic development, yet still young at heart with many cultural and sporting activities.
The urban area of Tours has a leading part to play in the Loire Valley. It lies at the crossroads of the North-South and the East-West communication lines of Europe and is only one hour from Paris by high-speed train.
The city, a real hub of motorway and railway connections, is a gateway to a unique collection of Chateaux along the Valley of Le Loire.
The city is permanently alive with the activity generated by the many varied local shops. Outgoing modernisation is evident in the number of shopping malls operating or under construction.
To capitalise on such an outstanding infrastructure and location, there is a vision to create a world class golf hotel resort with associated amenities and housing.
