  By Train:

Eurostar
Eurostar from the U.K. offers many destinations throughout France- Taking Eurostar means leaving the car at home and letting “the train take the strain”.

·         We can recommend the Channel Tunnel road and rail route from the UK (Eurostar website) .

The train à grande vitesse (TGV - 'big fast train') stops at Tours, actually at Saint-Pierre-des-Corps just outside the city and also Châtellarault  and Poitiers, which, although in Vienne both give good access to the south of the Loire valley/Centre region (Southern Touraine)
