Place Plumereau, Medieval square in Tours, France
The Place Plumereau stands at the center of old Tours, surrounded by 15th-century half-timbered buildings that form a complete architectural ensemble.
Originally named Carroi aux Chapeaux in the 13th century, the square received its current name in 1888 to honor Charles Plumereau, a city councilor.
The square functions as a central meeting point where students, residents, and visitors gather among numerous cafes and traditional restaurants.
Restaurants around the square maintain outdoor seating throughout the year, with tables arranged to accommodate different group sizes.
The buildings encircling Place Plumereau showcase intact medieval construction techniques with exposed wooden beams and painted facades.

The Loire Valley features Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance châteaux and medieval squares. From Saint-Gatien Cathedral to Château de Chenonceau, each location displays architectural details: towers, stone walls, decorated facades and geometric gardens. The city of Tours combines half-timbered houses, bridges over the Loire, religious buildings and public squares with century-old trees. Saint-Gatien Cathedral rises with its two towers and stained glass windows from the 13th century in the heart of Tours. Château de Chenonceau spans the Cher River with its galleries and French gardens. Place Plumereau in the historic center is surrounded by medieval houses with wooden beams. The Loire châteaux such as Amboise, Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau offer photographs of white stone facades, towers and terraced gardens. The banks of the Loire reveal sandy beaches, old stone bridges and vineyards stretching along the river.
