Musée des Beaux-Arts
For an art fix in Tours, stop by this provincial museum, worth visiting just to see the lovely rooms and gardens of the former Archbishop’s palace, with parts dating to the 12th century. Hanging on the walls are works by Rubens, Delacroix, Rembrandt, and Boucher; the sculpture collection spans Roman busts to moody Rodin.
