Loches in 5 days

If you only have 5 days to spend in Loches, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Loches is a remarkably well-preserved medieval town dominated by its hilltop citadel and imposing château, which once served as a royal residence and state prison. Within its fortified walls you’ll find narrow stone streets, half-timbered houses, and the Collegiate Church of Saint-Ours, known for its distinctive Romanesque architecture. The town is quieter and less crowded than many Loire Valley sites, yet still close to famous châteaux and vineyards, making it a good base for exploring the region. Regular markets, small museums, and riverside walks along the Indre add to its relaxed, historic atmosphere.
With favorites like Musée Lansyer, Loches Jardin Public, and Le p'tit marmiton, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Le Vicariat-Cité royale and The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Le George, Loches so you can get the best taste of Loches while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Château de Loches is a captivating castle museum that boasts an impressive collection of medieval armor and holds centuries of royal history within its walls. The castle complex includes the Donjon Fortress and the Logis Royal Castle, both accessible with a single ticket. Visitors can also freely wander through the medieval-style city and garden surrounding the château.
Stunning views and scary dungeons, although some of the stairways were challenging if you've got vertigo. Beautiful grounds and gardens, lots of sunny or shady spots for a picnic.
Dave R — Google review
This castle is absolutely worth a visit. Grab a tablet at the entrance to get some extra information on the rooms and locations. It wil give a nice twist to your visit, including a treasure hunt for childeren. Great view over Loches from the tower. Mind your step though! Some of the old staircases are very narrow. Fair price which also includes acces to the kings lodges up ahead.
Wim J — Google review
Phenomenal castle, old city, and royal residence. Just an hour away from Tours on the Rémi bus, a must see for people in the area. You navigate with the histopad, are exposed to helpful signs and guides to direct you, and feel like you're living back in time. Combined best with some reading on mideaval French history.
Dory A — Google review
Nice medical city to visit for a couple of hours. The donjon is beautiful and you can walk around easily. Highly recommend the place
Aurelien G — Google review
Beautiful castle complex. You have to pay 1 ticket to be able to enter both the Donjon Fortress and the Logis Royal Castle, other than that you can roam around for free around the medieval styled city and garden. The ticket is definitely worth to pay, while exploring the Donjon Fortress they'll give you a tablet called Histopad intstalled with a very interactive application to help you explore the fortress, with Histopad your experience feels like a treasure hunt (good for kids and adventurous people!) Prepare to take a lot of staircases and to walk a lot.

Historical landmark
Nestled in the Loire Valley, the Royal City of Loches is a charming destination with a rich history. The cobbled streets lead to ancient dwellings and fortified gates like Porte des Cordeliers and Porte Royale, evoking a sense of time travel. Despite its small population, this town boasts a medieval castle, royal Renaissance love nest, and stunning skyline. The Chateau and Royal Lodge overlook the town from atop a hill, accessible through an imposing gatehouse.
It was my third time, and I am still amaze everytime. The architectural design, the view the entrance. I still love going back when I have time. And it's free, you just need to pay if you want to go inside the Logis Royale. Have fun and enjoy the view. And the staffs are very kind and welcoming.

Chateau and Royal Lodge set on a hill top overlooking the town of Loches. Access to the city is through an imposing gatehouse and narrow streets wind their way to the Logis Royale and Donjon. A joint ticket gives access to both at a reasonable price. The keep was closed for safety reasons.

Immaculate and aesthetically pleasing, this French garden also features a dedicated playground for children aged between 2 and 6 years old.

Le Vicariat-Cité royale is a restaurant located near the Logis Royal de Loches, offering a stunning panoramic view of the forest of Loches and the Indre Valley. The dishes are described as delicious, with homemade lasagna and stuffed eggplant being highlighted. The salads are well-garnished and there is a nice cocktail menu available. Visitors can enjoy a quiet and shaded atmosphere while admiring the beautiful view.
Just great traditional French cuisine in a historic setting with a view. Staff was friendly, options were interesting and diversified, and most importantly, food was delicious.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant offering a beautiful view next to the Logis Royal de Loches. The offerings may be limited and the desserts may seem a little small but the dishes are delicious. The homemade lasagna and the stuffed eggplant arrive in dishes and we can see that they have had time to brown and that they have just come out of the oven. It feels like home. The salads are well garnished and the price is right. Dogs are allowed on the terrace and the waiter even brought us a bowl of water when he seated us, thank you for this kind attention. (Original) Restaurant offrant une belle vue à côté du Logis Royal de Loches. L'offre est peut-être restreinte et les desserts peuvent paraître un peu petit mais les plats sont délicieux. Les lasagnes maison et l'aubergine farcie arrivent dans des plats et on constate bien qu'ils ont eu le temps de gratiner et qu'ils sortent tout juste du four. On se croirait comme à la maison. Les salades sont bien garnies et le prix est correct. Les chiens sont acceptés en terrasse et le serveur nous a même apporté une gamelle d'eau quand il nous a installé, merci pour cette gentille attention.

Guests can unwind on the terrace while enjoying complimentary Wi-Fi or savoring delicious meals at the hotel's restaurant, LE GEORGE.
Very nice hotel. View to river is special. Location is right in the middle of town. Room clean and well equipped but a bit on the small side. Wasn't sure about parking before we arrived and so was disappointed that despite a Booking App message and an e mail I only got an answer when I ask asked the hotel reception.

Excellent cuisine and service. After booking a river view room 4 weeks earlier, we got an attic room on the main street. A higher priority client must have supplanted us. I was initially refused a discount, but then given a small reduction as an afterthought. But being sidelined still rankles.

Le Presbytère-Cité royale Chambres d’hôtes & restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with superb views of the old church and surrounding countryside. The salads are generously portioned and delicious, while the service is excellent. Although the toilets could use some improvement, it's still a highly recommended spot for a delicious lunch of cheese and charcuterie in a beautiful, quiet location near the castle.
Breathtaking view of Loches Fabulous food and service What a find! A unique restaurant within the historic walled city of Loches where you dine under a shady ivy covered terrace. Fresh, well cooked and presented cuisine that is perfect for summer. Excellent service and an overall enjoyable experience We will be back

Very nice place to sit in the shade and eat a small meal with superb views over the old church and the surrounding countryside of Loches. Salads are big and taste good. Service is excellent. The toilets however are very basic and can be improved upon, therefore 4 stars instead of 5.

Awful service. I asked for a lemonade and they brought me some soda in a bottle, nothing to do with a lemonade. I would have appreciated just to be told in advance and let me decide what I wanted. Not to mention that they say their restaurant is opened all day long and when we went for lunch at 15:00 we were told that we can only have desert because the restaurant is opened, but the kitchen is closed. How DOES THIS make any sense, people? Are you really thinking about the people reading your website? When you say "restaurant opened" means you can eat there, right? Well, it seems not. Restaurant opened and kitchen opened are 2 different things. At least change the description if you don't want to mislead clients. So my recommendation is to avoid them. They are taking advantage of the idyllic location just to scam the tourists. If you like the spot, there are benches there in the garden where you can only seat.

Rental Camping La Citadelle is situated in a beautifully landscaped garden near the medieval city of Loches. It's an ideal spot for a family holiday, with its perfect location within walking distance to the town and easy access to the stunning sights of the Loire Valley. The campsite offers a great pool for both adults and children, as well as clean facilities. Guests appreciate the spacious and sunny pitches, while also noting that the place becomes very quiet after 10 pm.
Great family holiday. We stayed for 10 nights at this campsite which suited us perfectly. Location was perfect within walking distance to the town and easy access to beautiful loire valley sightseeing. The pool was perfect for our small children and while we didn't need to use it there was a large indoor pool also. Pitch no 27 was perfect, spacious and sunny. Places goes very quite from 10pm onwards which was also fine for us but may not suit everyone. Toilets and showers spotlessly clean. All in all we had a lovely holiday and would highly recommend this campsite. We will return.

Pros: This is a great location, within the actual town. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bar is great with good food at reasonable prices. Cons: Some pitches are small in the premium area (on pitch shower and kitchen). Multiple instances of people not being able to fit their tent on. Main issue and why I wouldn't stay again: Absolutely riddled with mosquitos. Day and night!

We stayed in an Executive 3 berth with a hot tub which was new and very well equipped, however the site itself was very disappointing and I think we would have left it we had been in any other of the accommodation types. Everything like looked very tired and run down and it looked nothing like the pictures on the website. It is definitely not a 4 star site, it's probably closer to a 2 star. The general store consisted of around 15 items in reception. The restaurant on site requires you to collect your own cutlery and return the plates after, I have never seen this at a 4 star site especially when the restaurant had 5 staff working, and spent most of the time stood around. We paid nearly €1800 for our weeks stay which is incredibly overpriced for the services that were offered, the main pool was out of action for the first few days and nobody bothered to reach out and tell us.

Ah what a shame. We loved the town of Loches, with its beautiful architecture, independent bars, restaurants and shops, and an amazing market on the Saturday! However, the campsite isn’t good enough to warrant a paid return visit. Well use a local free aire instead. We’ve stayed at dozens of campsites and pitches across France and this is one of the most disappointing. The cost is relatively high (but perhaps appropriately high given the location) yet the campsite is let down by poor communication and toilet block cleanliness. There are lots of little issues too (listed below) that let the whole campsite down and mean we wouldn’t return. Despite feeling uncomfortable doing so, I felt they deserved to know so I gave feedback to reception and was told it wasn’t their fault! An apology and further questions to help them improve things would have been nice! Regarding the toilet blocks they said they “clean them three times a day but people are just dirty”. Most campsites don’t struggle with this! They need a change in attitude, or possibly the team. Pros: Walking distance to beautiful town of Loches Quiet Big pitches if you pay for premium pitch Pool Water slide good (when working) Bouncy castle and play area Lovely bar staff Decent beers and wines at reasonable prices Home made pizza - we didn’t eat any but saw the dough being made(!) Cons: Very poor communication from reception on multiple issues - locations and availability of facilities, not telling us things weren’t working until we complained about them, when given feedback saying “it’s not our fault” etc… Dirty shower and toilet facilities that are not cleaned deeply or regularly enough Cold showers Washing machines not working (only one was, which we only found out after complaining at reception that it wasn’t working… yet no sign had been put on machine, nor were we told which machines worked when buying the tokens(!) Water slide wasn’t working first day (no information about it though), but was working second day Quite a lot of mosquitoes so we got a lot of bites Kids Karts are 5 EUR per hour making them nearly pointless as it’s rare my kids want to use it solidly for an hour - other campsites provide these free Relatively high cost of washing machine (5 EUR per wash is double paid elsewhere) Non-premium plots look small and lack privacy Entertainment board perhaps a bit sparse(!)

Stayed at this site on the way up through France. Had been warned that it had gone downhill since being taken over but it was worse than expected. When we turned up we asked if there was a serviced pitch available. Was told no so they gave us a pitch number. When we found it it was under water and you would not have put animals on it. Went back to reception who then came up with a better pitch and when we got to it it was serviced.!!!!. The best pitches on the site have now been taken over by a Dutch tent company. Overall the site looked very neglected. The only bright spot were the Pizzas in the restaurant which were superb.
Andrew S — Google review
We stayed here in 2020 amidst the pandemic and it seemed far better then. The staff were really welcoming and very helpful as before but the facilities, other than the swimming pool area, felt rundown and in need of some repair and upgrading. The WiFi which was available across the whole site before is now limited to the reception area. However, our pitch was lovely, very spacious and with the requested shade. The saddest part is that despite it being quite busy for June, the takeaway/café remains closed until the 1st July, even at weekends which is a real shame and lets it down.

This site could be so much better . There’s no doubt it’s location is the overriding factor being a 10 min walk into beautiful Loches but that’s where it ends We booked a premium emplacement to give us a private toilet n shower as we’ve been on the road a while . While the actual facilities were spotless and I think new the pitch was appalling- a muddy small corner , infact pitches 7-15 are tiny . Pitches 2-6 are so much better and with a lovely view but facilities are older so not sure why the site doesn’t spruce these up . I hate to think how crammed 7-15 would be when full The whole site is scruffy with overgrown weedy pitches , and needs a good mowing and weeding A shame as it could be lovely it just looks and feels unloved . Lady on reception was lovely This has been the worst site of our trip so far

Quiet Fun Place for Kids in a Great Location. We arrived around 3 and had pick of several great tent locations. We settled down by the playground and pool area and the kids had a blast (covered pool is nice and warm). Good mix of French and English so our kids had a little language training and everyone was quite friendly. The town is very picturesque and it's a great spot to hit up local vineyards- DEFINITELY worth going to the Monmousseau Caves with the kids- the light show is fantastic and free wine tasting! The sanitary blocks were all outdoors, but kept clean and never too busy. We even enjoyed an Irish Band night with dancing! It quieted down at night so it was just perfect for a family trip to the Loire Valley.

(Translated by Google) I came with my husband and my daughter on Saturday July 20 after a pool day in Loches and I will not return. Already disappointed that the confectionery is only made during the week because when we work, it's not possible to go there during the week and the young saleswoman is not friendly and cold, she makes me pay an extra €2 and no response to my email. to that. (Original) Je suis venue avec mon mari et ma fille le samedi 20 juillet après une journée piscine à loches et je ne reviendrai pas. Déjà déçu que la confection de confiserie ne se fasse que la semaine car quand on travaille, pas possible d'y aller la semaine et la jeune vendeuse pas aimable et froide, elle me fait payé 2€ supplémentaires et pas de réponse à mon mail suite à ça.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant visit to an artisanal confectionery in Loches. It's quick but efficient, and ideal for young children. We visited with our 5-year-old granddaughter, who thoroughly enjoyed it! We begin with a film about the origin and preparation of the sugar used, then move on to the workshop, where the young owner clearly and playfully explains how the lollipops and other sweets are made. He then invites adult volunteers and children to make their own lollipops, which they are then happy to take home! And finally, a visit to the shop is a pleasant end to the visit! Note: the staff, just like the owner, are warm and friendly. We've already planned to return with our 6-year-old grandson this week. (Original) Visite très sympathique d'une confiserie artisanale, à Loches. C'est rapide mais efficace, et idéal avec de jeunes enfants. Nous l'avons visitée avec notre petite-fille de 5 ans, qui a apprécié ! On commence par un film sur l'origine et la préparation du sucre utilisé, puis on passe dans l'atelier, où le jeune patron explique clairement et de façon ludique la fabrication des sucettes et autres berlingots, avant de proposer aux adultes volontaires et aux enfants de fabriquer leur propre sucette, qu'ils emportent ensuite avec plaisir ! Et enfin, un passage dans la boutique clôt agréablement la visite ! A noter : un personnel à l'image du patron, chaleureux et souriant. Nous avons déjà prévu d'y retourner avec notre petit-fils de 6 ans cette semaine.

Porte Royale

(20)
Monument
The Porte Royale is a significant gateway that grants access to various historical sites such as the collegiate church, the keep, the royal residence, and the Lansyer house museum. This city holds a remarkable heritage that has been well-preserved, evoking deep emotions and offering valuable insights. Notably, this door was once used by Joan of Arc herself. Having visited in 2017, there are plans to return in 2020 to further explore this magnificent monument.
(Translated by Google) This defensive gate is currently the only access to the medieval fortress. A first door from the 11th century was replaced at the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century by the monumental gate formed by two round towers pierced with arrow slits. In the 15th century, the appearance of gunpowder artillery necessitated a redevelopment: the roof and gangway were removed in favor of a fire terrace, surrounded by battlements on consoles. (Terrace open during the opening hours of the Lansyer Museum, free entry) (Original) Aquesta porta defensiva és actualment l'únic accés a la fortalesa medieval. Una primera porta del segle XI va ser substituïda a finals del segle XII o principis del XIII per la monumental porteria formada per dues torres rodones perforades amb escletxes de fletxa. Al segle XV, l'aparició de l'artilleria de la pólvora va requerir una reurbanització: la coberta i la passarel·la es van retirar a favor d'una terrassa de foc, envoltada de merlets sobre consoles. (Terrassa oberta durant l'horari d'obertura del Museu Lansyer, entrada gratuïta)

There are lots of steps. At the end of the day, my legs were burning but my head was full of memories 😅 (Original) Nous sommes allés visiter le logis royal ainsi que le Donjon à l'occasion des médiévales.

À la fin de la journée, j'avais les jambes en feu mais la tête remplie de souvenirs 😅

(Translated by Google) Through this Royal Gate you can access the Royal City of Loches, as well as the visit to the castle and keep. It was built in the 12th and 13th centuries. You are forced to pass through here to access the castle keep, the royal residence and the church of St Ours. The amount of history that this small city houses, with such an impressive set of monuments, is very impressive. It is assumed that Joan of Arc, the maid of Lorraine, passed through here. Recommended 100x100 (Original) A través de esta Puerta real se accede a la Ciudad real de Loches, al igual que a la visita del castillo y torre del homenaje. Fue construida en los siglos XII y XIII. Se está obligado a pasar por aquí para acceder al torreón del castillo, la residencia real y la iglesia de St Ours. Es muy impactante la cantidad de historia que alberga esta pequeña ciudad, con un conjunto de monumentos tan impresionantes. Se supone que por aquí pasó Juana de Arco, la doncella de Lorena.

We who love nature and animals could not help but be seduced by his paintings which gave us the impression of meeting someone who was familiar to us. It was a very pleasant and relaxing visit. It should be noted that the explanations and educational materials are very well done, including a short summary in simple language that is easy to understand for children or people learning French. The surroundings of the museum are charming with a magnificent view of the city. And to top it all off, we appreciated the warm and professional welcome. Everything was perfect!

Nous qui aimons la nature et les animaux, nous n'avons pu qu'être séduits par ses peintures qui nous ont donné l'impression de côtoyer quelqu'un qui nous était familier. Ce fut une visite très plaisante et relaxante. Il est à noter que les explications et les supports pédagogiques sont très bien faits, avec notamment un petit résumé en langage simple et facile à comprendre pour les enfants ou les personnes apprenant le français.

This is a very small swimming pool comparing to what i have seen and visited The interesting thing is a small pool outside with a natural grass and vegetation But,for ne it was a little bit unpleasant at the entrance They have a rule that you have to undress before entering the outside pool and I wanted just to be outside with my kids. I was not informed before paying, or before entering the closed pool area. I was in a stupid position and they were kind of strict and... We managed somehow but I felt ashamed and got very stressed

Pizzeria Trattoria mauvieres

4.6
(308)
Pizza restaurant
Italian restaurant
I have no hesitation in proclaiming that the pizza at La Trattoria Mauvières is truly the finest I have ever tasted. The dough is exceptional, with a delectable tomato sauce and high-quality Italian ingredients. The proprietors of this establishment are both affable and proficient in their craft. Additionally, the dessert, specifically the mascarpone mousse, is absolutely delightful.
This place is a very unassuming spot. A hole in the wall that you may blink and miss if driving by, but a gem if you take the time to visit. I ordered and received my meal within what felt like 5 minutes. Very fast service. The house special pizza is excellent though I wish I had distributed the gorgonzola from the centre a bit. I eat my pizza from the outside in so my last two bites were overwhelmingly strong. The dessert special was also very tasty. The space is extremely well utilized to give a rustic ambience around its stone structure. The bathroom is well maintained and has a quaint old-world charm. I especially like the use of hand towels, makes it very classy and saves on paper waste.

(Translated by Google) These two old mansions were built in the 16th century. The Chancellery The facade of the Chancellery, on the right, is dated 1551 and is inspired by the work of Michelangelo. It houses a permanent exhibition on the history of Loches, which can be visited from April to October (free entry). The centaur's house (private site) The House of the Centaur owes its name to the sculpted scene visible on the pediment, which represents Hercules piercing the centaur Nessus with an arrow and kidnapping his wife Déjanire. (Original) Aquestes dues antigues mansions van ser construïdes al segle XVI. La Cancelleria La façana de la Cancelleria, a la dreta, està datada l'any 1551 i està inspirada en l'obra de Miquel Àngel. Allotja una exposició permanent sobre la història de Loches, que es pot visitar d'abril a octubre (entrada gratuïta). La casa del centaure (lloc privat) La Casa del Centaure deu el seu nom a l'escena esculpida visible al frontó, que representa Hèrcules que travessa amb una fletxa el centaure Nessus segrestant la seva dona Déjanire.

(Translated by Google) Exhibition room where the treasure of Naples is presented, at least part of it because the treasure of Naples is made up of 21,000 pieces of goldwork, jewelry and other silver statues. Made up of donations from Neapolitans over more than 7 centuries for the patron saint of Naples: St Gennaro. The treasury is administered by a college of lay people and not by the Holy Catholic Church. (Original) Salle d'exposition où est présenté le trésor de Naples, du moins une partie car le trésor de Naples est constitué de 21000 pièces d'orfèvrerie, joaillerie et autres statues d'argent. Constitué par les dons des napolitains sur plus de 7 siècles pour le st patron protecteur de Naples: St Gennaro. Le trésor est administré par un collège de laïcs et non par la Sainte Église Catholique.

The Cordeliers Gate, built in the late 15th century, stands on the North East side of the city, offering views of the Indre River and St Aignan road. Its design resembles that of Porte Picois, featuring a single lane for carts and a separate pedestrian walkway.
(Translated by Google) A majestic building (15th century), on the banks of the Indre. The Caravaggio bar-lounge is adjacent to it. This monument can only be visited during “heritage days”. (Original) Un édifice majestueux (XVème), au bord de l'Indre. Le bar-lounge Le Caravage lui est attenant. Ce monument ne se visite que lors des "journées du patrimoine".
Christophe 3 — Google review
(Translated by Google) The door dates from the end of the 15th century and overlooks the north-east face of the city, therefore overlooking the Indre and the road to St Aignan. Its architecture is comparable to the Porte Picois with a single lane for carts and a pedestrian crossing. Like all constructions from the 12th to the 17th century in Loches, Tuffeau stone is used. (Original) La porte date de la fin du XVème et donne sur la face Nord Est de la cité donc sur l'Indre et la route de St Aignan. Son architecture est comparable à la porte Picois avec une voie unique pour les charettes et un passage piétonnier. Comme toutes les constructions du XIIème au XVIIème siècle à Loches, c'est la pierre de Tuffeau qui est utilisée.

Monument
The Tower of Saint Antoine, once a place of worship, stands as a remarkable monument. This former church, now transformed into a tower, possesses great historical significance. Its architectural beauty and cultural importance make it an exceptional landmark in the region. The tower symbolizes the rich heritage and religious legacy of its surroundings. With its impressive structure and historic value, this monument is a testament to the past and serves as a reminder of the spiritual devotion that once filled its walls.

(Translated by Google) This tower is impressive, it is like the village bell tower, you can see it from everywhere. Former bell tower of a church or chapel (depending on the sources), it has been property of the commune since the Revolution. At the foot of the tower, signage presents its history, but it is a shame that no visits are offered outside of heritage days. The area is pleasant, I took advantage of the market, the tourist office and the statue of Alfred de Vigny. (Original) Cette tour en impose, elle est comme le clocher des villages, on la voit de partout. Ancien clocher d'une église ou chapelle (selon les sources) elle est propriété de la commune depuis la Révolution. Au pied de la tour, une signalétique présente son histoire, mais il est dommage que aucune visite soit proposée en dehors des journées du patrimoine. Le quartier est agréable, j'ai profité du marché, de l'office de tourisme et de la statue d'Alfred de Vigny.
Paul C — Google review
(Translated by Google) It seems that this tower was the bell tower of a church which had disappeared. If this is the case the church must have been of good size because this tower rises to 52 meters. The bell tower of the Redon church peaks at 67 meters. As the ancients had a certain idea and a certain respect for proportions we can imagine quite well the size that this church of Loches should have had. (Original) Il semble que cette tour ait été le clocher d'une église ayant disparue. Si c'est le cas l'eglise devait être de bonnes dimensions car cette tour culmine à 52 mètres. La tour clocher de l'église de Redon culmine elle à 67 mètres. Comme les anciens avaient une certaine idée et un certain respect des proportions on peut imaginer assez bien la dimension qu'aurait du avoir cette église de Loches.

Marché de Loches is a charming regional market located in the historical center, offering a wide selection of local vegetables, cheeses, sausages, and handicrafts. The market extends beyond a tiny square and features various stalls selling everything from fresh produce to bedroom mattresses. Visitors can soak up the local atmosphere while exploring the market's offerings. Despite some accessibility challenges due to city planning and ongoing development work, the market is known for its serious traders and diverse array of products.
One of the best markets around. Great selection of vendors and high quality produce. Ps - Watch out for the bloke selling a perfectly nice normal alpine cheese for €100 a kilo, didn’t see anyone local at his stall!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent regional market with selection from local vegetables to cheeses and sausages. The market occupies the entire historical center, and not just a tiny market square. There are only vegetables in the square. And in other places there are many trays up to “buy a mattress for the bedroom.” Some places give the impression that they have been decorated longer than the market has been standing on the square that day. (Original) Отличный региональный рынок с выбором от местных овощей до сыров и колбас. Рынок занимает весь исторический центр, а не просто крохотную рыночную площадь. На площади только овощи. А в иных местах есть множество лотков вплоть до «прикупить матрас в спальню». Некоторые места создают впечатление, что украшали их дольше, чем рынок стоит на площади в этот день.

Monument
Hotel de Ville, Porte Picois is a historic building in Loches, authorized by Francois Ier in 1519. This Renaissance-style structure features one of the earliest straight-flight staircases built during that period. The gate itself dates back to the 15th century and is part of the medieval wall of Loches. It now serves as a passage for pedestrians and carts carrying goods to Tours.
Cool
Beaufort B — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is one of the two defense gates of the lower town that are still preserved today. With a more military aspect than the Porte des Cordeliers, it has a Renaissance niche inside that was added when the Town Hall was built. The original statue of Our Lady with the Heart, installed in this niche to protect the door and the travelers who borrow it, is exhibited in the Galerie Saint-Antoine located next to the church of the same name. (Original) És una de les dues portes de defensa de la vila baixa que encara avui es conserven. Amb un aspecte més militar que la Porte des Cordeliers, té a l'interior una fornícula renaixentista afegida en el moment de la construcció de l'Ajuntament. L'original de l'estàtua de la Mare de Déu amb el Cor, instal·lada en aquest nínxol per protegir la porta i els viatgers que la prenen en préstec, s'exposa a la galeria Saint-Antoine situada al costat de l'església del mateix nom.

(Translated by Google) The Picois gate of the medieval wall of Loches was opened in the 15th century. Located in the North West of the city, it allows the passage of pedestrians and carts of goods bound for Tours. The gate is backed by a large building which will become the town hall. Today, even if traffic is authorized, it is on foot that you can fully enjoy the many architectural curiosities of Loches. (Original) La porte Picois de l'enceinte médiévale de Loches est percée au XVème siècle. Située au Nord Ouest de la cité elle permet le passage des piétons et des charettes de marchandises à destination de Tours. La porte se voit adosser d'un grand corps de bâtiment qui deviendra l'hôtel de ville. Aujourd'hui même si la circulation est autorisé, c'est à pied qu'on profitera pleinement des nombreuses curiosités architecturales de Loches.

Restaurant
"Restaurant Les racines dans l'assiette" is a great find with a small but high-quality menu, where everything is homemade except for a few select items. The dishes and desserts are simple yet refined, made with fresh, local ingredients. The cocktails are well-crafted and refreshing, and the staff is friendly whether you're there for a meal or just drinks. Located in the historic center of Loches, this restaurant offers incredible cuisine featuring seasonal local produce.
It was such a nice experience to taste some traditional French dishes. The owner and waiters are very friendly. And the square it is located at is a lovely little place to sit. I had the best apricot cocktail here, but I can not remember anymore what was in it, if someone knows please let me know! (Or go taste it for yourself ;)

Absolutely spectacular — easily one of my all-time favorite French restaurants. The food was exceptional from start to finish: rich, elegant, and bursting with flavor in every bite. You can tell everything is made with care and real passion. Every dish felt like a masterpiece — beautifully plated, perfectly cooked, and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why French cuisine is legendary. From the first bite to the last, I was genuinely amazed. A must-visit if you care about food. I’m already dreaming about going back.

We had reserved a table here and called in 20 minutes early to see if we could try a table at 640pm. We didn't receive a very warm welcome and were told to come back at 7. A bad sign. But we returned as we had booked and felt obliged to keep the reservation. Everyone else was served before us, both giving their order and receiving their drinks. Another bad sign. I ordered the beef steak, something I'm always a little skeptical to do in case its tough as old boots. The steak came and was tough as old boots. I couldn't eat it and explained that it was too tough and chewy ro eat, apologising in the process. The owner then did something very unexpected. Rather than believing me, he took hold of a knife and cut the beef himself , gesturing to me that there was noth8jg wrong with it. Now at 47 years old age, I think I am experienced enough in eating at restaurants around the world to tell when a steak is tender or tough. There was no need to cut through it. I politely asked for the bill. It didn't arrive. I then politely asked the female waitress for thr bill..it didn't arrive. I then went up to the counter and asked the same man for the bill. He told me the cost and presented the card machine. I again asked for the bill. He finally produced a bill and hadn't taken off the beef. At no point during this horrendous process did he apologise or offer me something else. Obviously, the money was more important than any form of service. I paid for the food I had not eaten in full and will next be making a complaint about this restaurant to the tourist office. Very poor food and service. Avoid.

oily food, from the fries (cooked and over cooked) to the meat (too greasy). Disappointed as the region carries fresh produces not reflected in the plate. Desserts are whatever. Overall, expensive prices for what is it. The good point is, waiters are nice ! They should be however more relax for the bistrot food they are serving, but it’s probably restaurant manager directions. I was more impressed by Prosper (another French restaurant with food more elaborated and tasty), few streets away. Covid special : no social distanciation between people, tables are really close to one another.

Pizza Takeout
Restaurant
Aux Saveurs D'Italie is a charming pizzeria that has garnered high praise for its delicious pizzas and exceptional service. Visitors have expressed delight in the welcoming and accommodating nature of the staff, particularly when it comes to catering to families with children. The option to customize pizzas with specific ingredients or have them split into different halves has been a highlight for many patrons. The quality of the dough used for the pizzas has been commended, with some likening it to that of a local bakery.
The pizzas were delicious and the owners were really nice. We ordered over the phone and picked them up 20 minutes later. Great service and great crust.

During my recent travels through the charming town of Loches, I stumbled upon Boulangerie Pâtisserie Laurent, a delightful bakery that truly deserves a visit. Known for its exceptional walnut bread, this artisanal spot offers a crispy crust and an abundance of high-quality nuts that elevate the flavor to new heights. The bakery also boasts an impressive sugar pie at an unbeatable price, making it hard to resist indulging in their sweet offerings.

(Translated by Google) While passing through the town of Loches, I discovered this bakery by chance.

THANKS (Original) De passage dans la ville de Loches, j'ai découvert cette boulangerie pâtisserie par hasard.

(Translated by Google) I can't speak for the bread, which seems to have a good reputation, but regarding the croissants, abstain. Bought early in the morning, they had surely been made the day before. Despite a complaint, the baker confirmed to me that they had been made in the morning. Impossible! I can still recognize a crispy and fresh croissant, especially since I have a baker friend. For this quality, it's better to go to a supermarket, they are better. First time I've picked up my pen to write a comment, but it's a steal! (Original) Je ne peux pas parler du pain qui semble avoir bonne réputation mais concernant les croissants s’abstenir . Achetés tôt le matin, ils avaient sûrement été fait la veille. Malgré une réclamation, le boulanger m’a confirmé qu’ils avaient été fait du matin. Impossible! J’arrive encore à reconnaître un croissant croustillant et frais et d’autant plus que j’ai un ami boulanger. Pour cette qualité, plutôt aller en grande surface, ils sont meilleurs. Première fois que je prend ma plume pour écrire un commentaire mais c’est du vol!

(Translated by Google) A quiet and relaxing place ideal for a break during the visit. This small park is a recent creation (2006), I discovered it while going from the Collegiate Church to the Donjon in 2017. Perfectly calm and relaxing, it offers an interesting view of the south face of the church and a lovely panorama of the city. In 2018, a planning problem regarding an integrated irrigation system left it almost without watering, a sad dried-out garden that summer, and since then, it has once again become this place of serenity. For those who are attracted to this type of place, there is a public garden located on the banks of the Indre, and the Prairies du Roy, an ideal natural space for walks. (Original) Un endroit calme et reposant idéal pour une pause au cours de la visite. Ce petit parc est une création récente (2006), je l'ai découvert en allant de la Collégiale au Donjon en 2017.

En 2018, un problème de planning concernant un système d'irrigation intégré l'a laissé presque sans arrosage, triste jardin desséché cet été-là, et depuis, il est redevenu ce lieu empreint de sérénité.

Sculpture
The Statue of Alfred de Vigny in Loches is a bronze sculpture that pays tribute to the magnificent yet disillusioned poet and writer. It was unveiled in 1909 and created by artist Francois Sicard. Vigny, a contemporary of Victor Hugo, hails from Loches and is part of the 19th-century romantic literary movement. His work, including "The death of the wolf" in "Les destinies," continues to captivate readers today.
(Translated by Google) Happy message that this statue which celebrates a magnificent and disappointed poet and writer, it can be the opportunity to discover these texts. This was my case. His poem, "The death of the wolf" in "Les destinies", fascinated me: I have just reserved this collection for my library, YouTube offers some readings. (Original) Heureux message que cette statue qui célèbre un poète et écrivain magnifique et déçu, ce peut être l'occasion de découvrir ces textes. Ce fut mon cas.

Quels plaisirs de goûter du fait maison, frites maison et haricots frais, une belle pièce de bœuf tendre à souhait .. Des plats gourmands nous avons terminé nos assiettes.. Une bonne adresse.. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter

(Translated by Google) Succulent dishes. Everything is homemade. I recommend it. You can go there with your eyes closed. For those with a grumble, be careful: it's closed in the evening! Because of the people who eat in their trucks. About ten spots are available for truckers at lunchtime!!! (Original) Plats succulents. Tout est fait maison. Je recommande. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Pour les grincheux attention fermé le soir ! A cause de ceux qui mangent dans leurs camions . Une dizaine de place disponible pour les routiers le midi !!!
