The best time to visit Tours, France, is generally from April to June and September to October. During these months, the weather is mild and pleasant, with comfortable temperatures ideal for walking around the city and exploring its historic sites, gardens, and nearby châteaux.
- Spring (April to June): The city comes alive with blooming gardens, vibrant outdoor cafés, and lively festivals. It’s a great time for sightseeing without the peak summer crowds.
- Early Autumn (September to October): The weather is still warm, and the Loire Valley’s vineyards are in harvest season, offering unique wine-tasting experiences. Tourist crowds are smaller compared to summer.
Summer (July to August) can be warmer and busier with tourists, which may affect hotel availability and prices, while winter (November to March) is quieter but colder, with some attractions having shorter hours.
Choosing either spring or early autumn ensures pleasant weather, enjoyable sightseeing, and a more relaxed experience in Tours.
