Thouars belongs to the national network of Cities of Art and History since 2001. This label awarded by the Ministry of Culture underlines the interest of the heritage and the quality of the activities proposed by professional guides. Take a stroll through its many small streets with evocative names that conceal multiple treasures at every corner or stroll through the Saint Médard district, where the half-timbered houses bear witness to the richness of the heritage. Visits are possible all year round by reservation with the Architecture and Heritage Department at 05.49.68.16.25.
