Places to see in ( Tours - France ) Hotel de Ville de Tours
Places to see in ( Tours - France ) Hotel de Ville de Tours
The Town Hall Tours was built between 1896 and 1904 by the architect Touraine Victor Laloux at law rue Nationale. The monumental building, disproportionately large compared to the Place Jean-Jaurès and the Palace of Justice , is intended to reflect the republican virtues and the municipal authority. The town hall and the Place Jean Jaurès evoke a Parisian layout. Interior and exterior decoration accounted for one quarter of the total cost (596,000 francs for 2.36 million).
On the facade, there are four Atlanteans of François Sicard ; on the left and right of the clock, two caryatids (Day and Night) are by Emile Joseph Nestor Carlier (1849-1927). Two elongated characters represent the Loire (on the left) and the Cher . They are Jean-Antoine Injalbert . The two wings are decorated: to the west, the Courage and Force of Jean-Baptiste Hugues , and to the east, Education and Vigilance, by Alphonse Cordonnier . All the rest of the decoration is due to Henri Varenne (who alone will receive 334,000 francs). Its roof served as a model for the restoration of the Montreal City Hall following its fire in 1922 .
On the ground floor, the stone peristyle serves as a place of exhibition.The monumental stone staircase houses a monument to the dead. On the first floor, the village hall and the wedding hall are abundantly decorated. The municipal council chamber is adorned with a triptych on the life of Joan of Arc by Jean-Paul Laurens (1901-1903).

Part 10 Day 15 Bike Tour France & Spain 2018 Saint Junien Oradour sur Glane to Chambray les Tours
Today we had a short ride from our hotel in Saint Junien to Oradour sur Glane to see a town that has been left almost un-touched since WW2 when it was burnt to the ground and the inhabitants executed by the Nazi 2nd SS Panzer Division. After we traveled mostly via open back (Roman) roads to our next hotel in Chambray les Tours, near Tours itself. We arrived in plenty of time and decided to give our bikes a well needed clean before reaching Le Mans tomorrow.

Tours (French pronunciation: [tuʁ]) is a city located in the centre-west of France. It is the administrative centre of the Indre-et-Loire department and the largest city in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France (although it is not the capital, which is the region's second-largest city, Orléans). In 2012, the city of Tours had 134,978 inhabitants, while the population of the whole metropolitan area was 483,744.
Tours stands on the lower reaches of the River Loire, between Orléans and the Atlantic coast. The surrounding district, the traditional province of Touraine, is known for its wines, for the alleged perfection (as perceived by some speakers) of its local spoken French, and for the Battle of Tours (732). The city is also the end-point of the annual Paris–Tours cycle race.
In Gallic times the city was important as a crossing point of the Loire. Becoming part of the Roman Empire during the 1st century AD, the city was named Caesarodunum (hill of Caesar). The name evolved in the 4th century when the original Gallic name, Turones, became first Civitas Turonum then Tours. It was at this time that the amphitheatre of Tours, one of the five largest amphitheatres of the Empire, was built. Tours became the metropolis of the Roman province of Lugdunum towards 380–388, dominating the Loire Valley, Maine and Brittany. One of the outstanding figures of the history of the city was Saint Martin, second bishop who shared his coat with a naked beggar in Amiens. This incident and the importance of Martin in the medieval Christian West made Tours, and its position on the route of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, a major centre during the Middle Ages.
Middle Ages[edit]
In the 6th century Gregory of Tours, author of the Ten Books of History, made his mark on the town by restoring the cathedral destroyed by a fire in 561. Saint Martin's monastery benefited from its inception, at the very start of the 6th century from patronage and support from the Frankish king, Clovis, which increased considerably the influence of the saint, the abbey and the city in Gaul. In the 9th century, Tours was at the heart of the Carolingian Rebirth, in particular because of Alcuin abbot of Marmoutier.
In 732 AD, Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi and a large army of Muslim horsemen from Al-Andalus advanced 500 kilometres (311 miles) deep into France, and were stopped at Tours by Charles Martel and his infantry igniting the Battle of Tours. The outcome was defeat for the Muslims, preventing France from Islamic conquest. In 845, Tours repulsed the first attack of the Viking chief Hasting (Haesten). In 850, the Vikings settled at the mouths of the Seine and the Loire. Still led by Hasting, they went up the Loire again in 852 and sacked Angers, Tours and the abbey of Marmoutier.
During the Middle Ages, Tours consisted of two juxtaposed and competing centres. The City in the east, successor of the late Roman 'castrum', was composed of the archiepiscopal establishment (the cathedral and palace of the archbishops) and of the castle of Tours, seat of the authority of the Counts of Tours (later Counts of Anjou) and of the King of France. In the west, the new city structured around the Abbey of Saint Martin was freed from the control of the City during the 10th century (an enclosure was built towards 918) and became Châteauneuf. This space, organized between Saint Martin and the Loire, became the economic centre of Tours. Between these two centres remained Varennes, vineyards and fields, little occupied except for the Abbaye Saint-Julien established on the banks of the Loire. The two centres were linked during the 14th century. Tours is a good example of a medieval double city.
Place Plumereau, Medieval buildings
Tours became the capital of the county of Tours or Touraine, territory bitterly disputed between the counts of Blois and Anjou – the latter were victorious in the 11th century. It was the capital of France at the time of Louis XI, who had settled in the castle of Montils (today the castle of Plessis in La Riche, western suburbs of Tours), Tours and Touraine remained until the 16th century a permanent residence of the kings and court. The rebirth gave Tours and Touraine many private mansions and castles, joined together to some extent under the generic name of the Châteaux of the Loire. It is also at the time of Louis XI that the silk industry was introduced – despite difficulties, the industry still survives to this day.
