Why I recommend this place to visitors
  • The old town is really lovely and great for wandering around.
  • It’s a great place to learn French – in fact arguably the best place in the world, as they speak the purest French here in the Touraine region.
  • It’s a great base for visiting some of the chateaux.

A review of this place

This city is a bit too busy around the train station.

What I want to do at this place

I’m going in January! It’s for a class at my college, a program through our J-Term. I’ll be living with a host family and attending l’institut de touraine to learn french. I’m so excited but also really nervous… I’ve never been overseas (I’ve never even been on a plane!)... I’m looking forward to it, and if anyone has any ideas what I should do while I’m there, let me know! I’ll be there for a month. (And I’ll also take trips to Paris and Normandy.)

Great place to be...

We stayed in a hotel called Le Chateau d’Artigny, and it was probably the single nicest place I’ve ever stayed. Remarkable service, remarkable restaurant, an inch thick wine list and one of the finest caves in the region…
