Thouars

The territory of Thouars extends over 181 square kilometers at an elevation of 100 meters in the western region of France.

During the 760s, King Pepin the Short and Charlemagne conducted military operations that resulted in the destruction of the Gallo-Roman settlement.

The Architecture and Heritage Department conducts regular guided tours throughout the Saint Médard district, which contains numerous preserved half-timbered houses.

Markets operate every Tuesday and Friday in the town center, offering regional products and fresh produce from local farmers.

The geological period known as the Toarcian Age of the Jurassic Period derives its name from the Latin designation of Thouars.
