About Tours

Known as the gateway to the châteaux and wineries of the Loire Valley , the ancient Roman city of Tours fizzes with life, and makes for a brilliant holiday base. Accommodation options in the city and surrounding villages are wide-ranging, including everything from cosy townhouse B&Bs to imposing countryside châteaux. Whilst some of our top picks are set near the historic centre of the city, many of the best places to stay in Tours are historic properties nestled in verdant gardens, just a short drive away.

Begin your explorations in old Tours, popping into the Cathedral of Saint-Gatien, admiring the impressive collection of artwork at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, and perusing antiques and French fashion on the Rue Nationale. The Touraine region also specialises in crisp, dry white wines. Sample and savour top local bounty at Les Halles, Tours’ covered food market, with a side of goat’s cheese or flavoursome rabbit. The Touraine Wine Museum offers tastings, excellent sample sales, and an in-depth history of the area’s 69 UNESCO-protected vineyards. To stay in the hub of the wine country, look towards Vouvray, just east of Tours.

If you're in the Loire to catch a glimpse of the region’s world-famous châteaux, look no further. Many of the best-known — Château de Chenonceau and Château de Chambord — and the most beautiful — Château d'Usse and Château d'Azay-le-Rideau — are within easy reach. Guided visits of the Château de Clos Lucé are fascinating, with an intriguing focus on the work of Leonardo da Vinci. The Priory of Saint-Cosmas and the ruins of the Basilica of St. Martins will also be of particular interest to history buffs.

The region’s other big draw is its cycling. Hire a bike and follow the picturesque Loire à Vélo trail to discover the lovely landscape on two wheels. There are also ample opportunities for long walks, horse riding and kayaking.

Whether you’re looking to kick back in the sunshine as a family, to taste terrific wine or to go cycling through the countryside, the best places to stay in Tours promise an enchanting place to unwind.

Taylor Swift draws five times as many US luxury travellers as the Olympics

PARIS – Paris authorities have spent years readying for the almost two million international visitors expected for the 2024 Summer Olympics, but they may have overlooked a far bigger phenomenon now coming to the city: Taylor Swift.

The billionaire superstar is playing four shows at La Defense Arena, just outside the capital, kicking off the European leg of The Eras Tour on May 9.

With a total seating capacity of 40,000 a show, the music event is a small fraction of the size of the Olympic Games. And yet the concerts are drawing five times as many Americans as the Paris Olympics, according to figures from New York-based luxury travel agency Embark Beyond.

For both events, trips would normally be booked many months in advance.

“I never would have anticipated it,” says Embark co-founder Jack Ezon. “Look at what Taylor did to the Super Bowl. She’s even overshadowing the Olympics.”

By that, of course, Mr Ezon is referring to Swift’s ability to broaden football viewership simply by supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, at several games.

According to former Paramount Global chief executive Bob Bakish, her attendance was considered one of the factors that made 2024’s Super Bowl the most-watched broadcast in US history. 

Now, Swift fever is reaching Europe, where many cities – including Paris – maintain limitations on ticket resales, preventing prices from reaching the five-digit sums that some consumers have paid in US markets. 

Mr Ezon says among the more than 200 Paris trips his company has planned for Swifties, the average length is three nights, with clients usually staying at luxury hotels like the Plaza Athenee, Hotel de Crillon and Le Bristol.

Around a third of the groups are mother-daughter pairs who want to schedule shopping sprees around the concerts. Some 20 per cent of clients are also planning larger European trips to follow the shows, adding destinations such as London or the south of France.

The appetite for the blockbuster tour comes amid lower-than-expected demand for the Olympic Games, with many high-end vacation rentals slashing prices for the summer as owners come to terms with the overblown hype.

Hotel prices, similarly, have dipped more than 30 per cent in the past six months, according to data from travel insights company Lighthouse.

Olympics bookings could still pick up as the July 26 opening ceremony approaches, especially given the recent price drops. The pace of inquiries and bookings has increased 8 per cent following a 14 per cent decline in April, Mr Ezon notes.

Meanwhile, Swifties in Paris are especially excited to hear songs off her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, being performed for the first time.

Many critics have derided the 31-track album as bloated and mediocre – “a rare misstep”, in the words of British music magazine NME.

Such blasphemy leaves her devoted fan base seeing red – Paste magazine felt the need to keep its damning review anonymous, knowing all too well how her fans would react.

But a few bad reviews are unlikely to lead to a cruel summer for Swift – the album sold 1.4 million copies on its first day of release on April 19, and broke every streaming record going, reaching a billion streams on Spotify within five days.

Some 42,000 people will see Swift in Paris before she heads on for dates in Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria.

As for the Taylor effect in Paris – it should come as no surprise.

The 34-year-old’s tour remains a money-making machine beyond the wildest dreams of promoters and venues.

The La Defense Arena says it has doubled the previous record of merchandise sellers across its dates.

The mere mention of a London pub, The Black Dog, on her new album was enough to send a swarm of Swifties to its doors, potentially saving the struggling boozer.

Fans tracked it down after realising it lay close to the home of British actor Joe Alwyn, with whom Swift had a six-year relationship that ended in April 2023.

Soukeyna, a 16-year-old fan travelling up from south-west France for opening night, says Swift gives her “the feeling of being part of a community”.

“She’s a complete artist who writes her own words, and you really have to listen to the lyrics and understand them, which is something unique,” she adds.

Swift’s tour has given a boost to many economies, including Australia’s and Singapore’s.

In 2023, the first round of her US concerts contributed US$4.3 billion (S$5.8 billion) to the country’s gross domestic product, according to estimates from Bloomberg Economics. BLOOMBERG, AFP

In Paris and Beyond, 6 Sumptuous European Hotels

For Olympics-goers and just plain vacationers, here are new accommodations that offer a special taste of France, Italy and Greece.

By Stephanie Rosenbloom

If you’re planning to attend the Paris Olympics and see a bit of Europe this summer, you have a variety of plush new hotels from which to choose (though they’re likely to fill up quickly). Whether you’re going to the Games or simply going on vacation, you’ll find fresh boutique properties in Paris and many more that are an easy flight away, be it to the French Riviera, Rome, or fittingly, an island in Greece, the birthplace of the ancient games .

Hôtel Balzac

Beginning June 1, after a two-year renovation, Hôtel Balzac , a member of Relais & Châteaux , the luxury hotel and restaurant network, is planning to open in the Eighth Arrondissement, within walking distance of the Champs-Élysées. Meant to feel like a Parisian home and inspired by 1930s style, the hotel is a sister property of the cozy Relais Christine in the Sixth Arrondissement, as well as the Saint James Paris in the 16th Arrondissement.

With interiors designed by Festen Architecture , there will be 58 rooms and suites in soothing neutral hues, some with views of the Eiffel Tower. Beyond your room you’ll find a lounge where you can enjoy breakfast before strolling the famous boulevard; a Japanese-inspired spa for treatments upon your return; a cocktail bar; and Pierre Gagnaire , a Michelin-starred restaurant with modern French cuisine. Prices from 590 euros, or about $630 a night.

Maison Proust

Like several of the latest hotels in Paris, such as Hotel Norman and Le Grand Mazarin , this hot spot in the Marais is an intimate affair with just 23 rooms and suites. A homage to the novelist Marcel Proust , the hotel features sumptuous spaces that conjure the Belle Époque and in them you’ll discover objects linked to the hotel’s namesake, including an autographed copy of “Swann’s Way.”

Designed by Jacques Garcia , the French interior decorator known for luxurious spaces like the Hôtel Costes in Paris and La Mamounia in Marrakech, Maison Proust is a member of the Collection Maisons Particulières , a group of hotels designed to feel like mansions. Each of the glamorous rooms are inspired by personalities from Proust’s world, including Colette and Monet.

If you can’t manage to nab one, you can still visit the bar where on Fridays, Colin Field , formerly the head bartender at Bar Hemingway at the storied Ritz Paris , is now creating cocktails (from 25 euros, or about $27) like L’Élixir de Proust, with raspberry essence and Champagne. You can also unwind at Spa La Mer , where there’s a hammam and pool.

Yet even without all that, the hotel’s location in the Marais — amid restaurants, shops and destinations like the Musée National Picasso-Paris and the Musée Carnavalet — makes it an enviable spot from which to step out and explore one of the world’s most walkable cities. Prices from €950 (with slight seasonal variation).

St.-Tropez, France

Arev saint tropez.

Within walking distance of the colorful village of St.-Tropez, this 43 room-and-suite hotel opened in March with flowering trees, a pool surrounded by striped umbrellas, and an outdoor bar where frozen rosé awaits. The popular Pampelonne Beach and its beach clubs are a brief drive away, while smaller nearby beaches offer the opportunity for a quick dip. Or stay put and indulge in a massage at the spa, head outside for a sunrise Pilates or yoga class, or hop on a Peloton bike at the fitness center. Unlike the Olympics, games at AREV Saint Tropez, like pétanque and padel , can be played in between glasses of rosé.

The rooms (some with private terraces and patios with flowers) were designed by Luis Bustamante , with splashes of blue, white and red, creating a nautical feel even when you’re not lounging by the sea. Explore outside your room and you’ll come across the Strand Restaurant and Champagne Lounge . The original Strand, a local crowd-pleaser, closed years ago, though this reincarnation at AREV Saint Tropez hopes to bring back some of the joie de vivre of its predecessor with live music, French wines and contemporary takes on regional dishes such as thon de Méditerranée, red tuna atop crispy risotto. For dessert, try the rice pudding or the chocolate soufflé. Prices from €1,440 June through August, and starting at €590 from October through March.

Nice, France

Hôtel du couvent.

Set in a convent dating to the 17th century, this 88 room-and-suite hotel plans to open in June, when it will offer guests glimpses into its monastic past. The property’s restoration is being spearheaded by Valéry Grégo, who founded Perseus , a builder and operator of hotels, including Le Pigalle in Paris. There will be a vegetable and herb garden, a bakery and an herbalist shop where you can stop in for custom-made teas with herbs from the garden.

Vegetables, fruits and eggs from both the garden and an off-site farm in Touët-sur-Var may be served at the hotel’s restaurants: Le Restaurant du Couvent, Le Bistrot des Serruriers and La Guinguette Café, where you can sip a drink in the garden near the lap pool. Wander the grounds and take advantage of the studio for yoga, exercise and meditation, or partake of a series of thermal “ Roman baths .” The baths are a nod to the remains of the Roman baths in nearby Cimiez , where you can also visit the Musée National Marc Chagall and Musée Matisse .

Return to the hotel, part of the Luxury Collection from Marriott, with interior design by Festen Architecture, and to the serene colors of your airy room. Prices from €390 a night.

On May 31, Leitmotiv — the group behind the buzzy, garden-themed La Fantaisie boutique hotel in Paris — is planning to open their first property outside of France: Casa Monti, in Rome.

The hotel is in Rome’s Monti neighborhood, dappled with cafes and restaurants, and takes its inspiration from the area’s artists, encouraging guests to think of themselves as artists in residence. Past its 18th-century facade are frescoes and 36 rooms and suites that are awash with color and bold patterns by the interior designer Laura Gonzalez . You’re within walking distance of must-see sights like the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. And upon returning from a day of exploring you can drop by the spa, linger over dinner — indoors or al fresco — at the hotel restaurant and then watch night fall from your perch on the rooftop bar. Prices from €450 a night.

Paros, Greece

Rising from the Greek island of Paros, this escape on Piperi beach blends soft sand with Cycladic cubic style architecture. The hotel has 38 rooms and suites, including some with private plunge pools. If you can manage to leave yours behind to explore the grounds, you’ll find the wellness area , where you can get a massage or body treatment outdoors in a private curtained chamber. Avant Mar’s name joins the French word for “before” with the Spanish word for “the sea,” highlighting the hotel’s location “in front of the sea,” and there’s an open-air theater that can be used for yoga and Pilates upon request, as well as an Olympics-worthy, 55-meter-long swimming pool.

Back on dry land, a gin-and-tonic bar called the Bridge plans to open the end of this month with views of the Aegean Sea. And mark your calendar for July 10 to 13 when the Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa will be at the hotel’s waterside restaurant, Matsuhisa Paros , for the Nobu Food Festival. (The restaurant is scheduled to open for the season on June 7). For Greek fare at the hotel, visit Thymes for breakfast, lunch or dinner by the pool. And don’t forget dessert. Stop into Figs, the hotel’s pastry shop, to get your fix of traditional Greek sweets. Prices from €715 a night.
