Thursday's 'taken in Touraine' - Jardin des Prébendes d'Oé.

View of the Jardin des Prébendes d’Oé in Tours, showing a small river curving through landscaped parkland with mature trees and a historic building in the background.

In the gentle heart of Tours, this Bühler-crafted haven (1874) unfolds like a secret: trees veil the curving pond, ducks trace lazy paths on mirrored water. A more formal urban city glimpses through the leaves, pure, unhurried Touraine magic.

A 'Jardin Remarquable' born from old marshlands, it still feels like a private escape amid the city's hum. Busy benches yet endless calm.

Your favorite quiet corner in the Loire? 🌿🦆


You can view a spring walk in the gardens here.


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

Part of the “Taken in Touraine” Series

Every Thursday, we pause somewhere in Touraine — a village, a vineyard, or a quiet riverside — to capture the spirit of this timeless Loire region.
