About Tours Val de Loire Airport
Tours Val de Loire Airport serves the city of Tours and the wider Loire Valley, one of France's most visited regions for its châteaux, gardens and vineyards. The airport sits about 6 km north-east of the city centre, making it a practical entry point for leisure travellers heading to Tours and the surrounding Touraine area.
The airport has its origins in military aviation and later developed a civil terminal in the late 1950s. Today it handles regular low-cost connections to destinations such as London Stansted, Porto, Marseille and Marrakech, with additional seasonal services in summer. A single compact terminal covers all passenger operations.
Passengers can reach central Tours by taxi or private transfer in around 15 to 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions. There is no dedicated airport bus; the nearest tram stop on line A, Lycée Vaucanson, is within walking distance and connects to the city centre and Tours railway station.
The terminal provides essential amenities including a bar-restaurant, free Wi-Fi, a meeting room and on-site car parking. Its small size keeps the passenger journey quick and simple, making it a convenient gateway for exploring the Loire Valley.
