Toll houses in Tours, Historical monument in Tours, France.
The four toll houses, built with tufa stone at Place Choiseul, display Louis XVI architectural style with a ground floor and upper level.
Built in 1779 following Mathieu Bayeux's plans, these pavilions collected taxes on goods entering Tours until 1930, controlling trade at the city's northern entrance.
The northwestern pavilion now houses a cultural association headquarters, while the northeastern structure functions as an art gallery.
Visitors can examine the external architecture of the pavilions from Place Choiseul, near Avenue de la Tranchée in the northern section of Tours.
Curved walls originally connected the pavilions in pairs, creating checkpoints for goods arriving from the northern route into the city.
