A Class Trip to Tours: Heritage, History, and Culture
A journey through two thousand years of history
The city of Tours, designated a “City of Art and History,” is an open book for students. From the Gallo-Roman amphitheater (whose urban footprint can still be discerned) to the half-timbered houses of the famous Place Plumereau, all the way to the majestic Gothic Saint-Gatien Cathedral, a school trip to Tours offers a comprehensive overview of several key periods covered in the school curriculum.
Tour formats tailored for young people
The Tours Tourist Office offers dramatized guided tours or treasure hunts, particularly suited for elementary and middle school students. These fun formats keep young people engaged while teaching them architectural terminology (Gothic, Romanesque, Renaissance) and the historical anecdotes that make the capital of Touraine so rich in history.
The immediate proximity of the Domaine des Acacias
Staying with your class at the Domaine des Acacias in La Ville-aux-Dames places you right on the outskirts of Tours (10 to 15 minutes by bus). This proximity makes it easy to organize half-day city tours and return in time for a leisurely lunch in our dining hall, thereby reducing both the cost and the fatigue associated with extended travel.
