This beautiful plaza is in the heart of the "old quarter" of the city of Tours. It's surrounded by little side streets that have even more restaurants. We had a nice, long leisurely lunch here with a visiting friend.
Timber frame construction is quite common around here and more so as you head towards Brittany and Normandy. But yes, the hotel Roanoke would fit in fine here.
"Place Plume" at night is THE place to be for students... I can tell you!
ReplyDeleteWe spent a night there years ago before we moved here and we can attest to that ! Lively does not adequately describe it.
DeleteI don't remember that part of Tours but we haven't visited very often (apart from the Volvo garage and Ikea!).
ReplyDeleteYou gotta go the next time. It's full of history and charm and shopping.
