Île Simon, River island in Tours, France
The Ile Simon extends along the Loire River, featuring green spaces, walking paths, and recreational areas for outdoor activities throughout the year.
The island location within Tours made it a strategic point for controlling river navigation and trade routes during the medieval development of the city.
Local residents gather on the island for community events, creating opportunities for social interactions while enjoying outdoor entertainment and activities.
Access to Ile Simon is available through the Napoleon Bridge, with extended opening hours from 7:45 AM until 9:00 PM during summer months.
The installation of giant crayon sculptures adds an artistic element to the natural environment, creating an unexpected contrast against the river backdrop.
