In a 17C chapel, a look into the life of an Ursuline from Tours, Marie of the Incarnation who left for Canada on an evangelising mission.

Set off on a fascinating journey into the world of the "journeymen" upon entering the monk's dormitory of St. Julien's Abbey. Trade guild customs and ceremonies (the "cayenne" where the meetings were held, the "topage", etc.) and masterpieces (magnificent frameworks, even a chocolate violin) illustrate the know-how of these craftsmen who are also artists. Not to be missed!

This château is a magical white stone footbridge across the Cher. It is dedicated to several women and made up of three sections: a dungeon, a Renaissance construction with turrets, a long gallery built under Catherine de Médicis. You reach the first floor via a sumptuous staircase; one of the first with a straight ramp. The building is full of paintings, tapestries and furniture. Renaissance gardens, that foreshadow those of Louis XIV's century, spread out before it.

It was started in the middle of the 13C and finished in the 16C. This cathedral illustrates the whole progress of the Gothic style. The flamboyant facade is particularly beautiful. Great purity of the inside lines. The choir, one of the most beautiful of the 13C is attributed to Étienne of Mortagne, architect of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. But, above all, the people of Tours are proud of the magnificent windows. The graceful tomb of Charles VIII's children is touching.
