It’ not by chance that Tours has been awarded the title of International City of Gastronomy… Drawn by its lovingly handed-down and maintained culinary heritage, a group of academics decided to locate here in order to observe and promote French cookery practices. Acquaint yourself with our selection of producers, tasting locations and restaurants, to wake up your taste buds and savour Touraine!
