On the Streets of Touraine - December in Loches.


Historic street scene in Loches, Touraine, leading toward the Porte Royale and former town hall, showing the medieval character of the town in December.
A calm December view along the historic streets of Loches, where pale stone façades guide the eye toward the fortified gateways of the old town. This approach to the Porte Royale, with the former town hall beside it and that of Porte des Cordeliers reflects Loches as both a lived-in town and a place shaped by centuries of defence, administration and everyday life. The winter light and the quieter  streets allow the architecture of the medieval town to take centre stage.

Loches— the charm of everyday Touraine life.

“The streets here don’t hurry. They simply invite you to walk, to notice, to belong.”


Part of the “On the Streets of the Loire” Series

Each Saturday, we stroll through the lanes and cobbles of Loire towns and villages — places where every step feels like a story.
