Taken in Touraine - river Indre at Loches.

Seen from the Porte des Cordeliers in Loches, the River Indre moves quietly beneath the trees and old stone houses that line its banks. On warm days, the reflections soften the edges of the town, creating a calmer view far removed from the busy streets on market day.

This part of Loches reveals another side of Touraine, where water, greenery, and centuries-old buildings blend naturally into the landscape. Hidden corners like this are easy to miss, yet they often become the moments visitors remember most clearly after exploring the town.

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