The Tours real estate market
Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, the city of Tours stretches along the banks of the Loire and Cher rivers. This metropolis is the ideal living environment for customers in search of art de vivre, self-fulfillment and refinement.
Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire, Fondettes, Saint-Avertin, Amboise, Rochecorbon, Vouvray, Azay-le-Rideau and Loches are the most sought-after areas in the Touraine region. These esteemed locations attract a demanding clientele looking for a certain level of living comfort.
In addition to its security, the Prébendes district of Touraine, renowned for its stately bourgeois homes and picturesque gardens, is proving to be a sound investment for family life. Other areas, such as Blanqui-Mirabeau and Fuye-Velpeau, also continue to attract strong interest.
In these areas, the Tours agency boasts a portfolio of prestigious real estate properties, including hôtels particuliers, apartments, town houses, contemporary villas and hunting and forest estates.
Tours: history and heritage
Touraine is home to some 50 Loire castles, including Azay-le-Rideau, Chenonceau, Langeais, Villandry, Ussé, Clos Lucé and Amboise, as well as the royal fortress of Chinon and the royal city of Loches. These prestigious monuments, witnesses to France's rich history, attract large numbers of tourists to the region.
Close to the magnificent châteaux of the Loire, the Loire Valley landscape is adorned with vast vineyards. From the famous Vouvray to the wines of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil and Montlouis-sur-Loire, many of the Loire's most famous appellations are waiting patiently to be tasted.
The history of Tours was marked by Jean Royer, the city's former mayor for over thirty years. This twentieth-century figure played a central role in preserving the heart of Tours. This remarkable protection of the Vieux-Tours district was one of the inspirations behind the Malraux law, aimed at preserving the historic centers of towns and cities.
Drawing on its expertise in the Tours market, the Tours agency provides personalized support throughout the customer's real estate project. With an extensive presence not only in France, but worldwide, Sotheby's International Realty has an exclusive network linking buyers and sellers on an international scale.
