Taken in Touraine - Tour Charlemagne in Tours.

Tour Charlemagne in Tours, a historic medieval tower in the Loire Valley, photographed from below showing its stone arches and commanding presence in the heart of Touraine.

Rising above the old town, the Tour Charlemagne in Tours is a striking remnant of the former medieval collegiate church dedicated to Saint Martin. Its massive stone structure and Romanesque arches dominate the skyline, a powerful reminder of the city’s medieval past and the enduring presence of history in the heart of Touraine.

“In Touraine, even the silence tells a story.”
