Family travel

I travelled to Tours with my daughter. We stayed 5 days in an Airbnb not too far from the centre. We found public transport affordable and safe. We found the city has a relaxed atmosphere and people were very happy to help as much as they could. A lot of people are happy to speak English if needed.

It's a relatively safe city in general but I already heard about aggression here and I also experienced catcall and verbal sexual harrasment at night in the most frequent places to hangout. It happens to be followed by strangers who wants your number too

it's a medium-sized city with many students and family neighborhoods where it's nice to live. There are several cozy parks, streets with restaurants, and a square with bars, quite busy in the evenings.
