La Gloriette - Tours Métropole Val de Loire

61 avenue Pont Cher, 37200 Tours

Spanning some 40 hectares of landscaped grounds, this ‘green lung’ provides a space for outdoor activities (kite-flying, cycling, games, etc.) and for exploring and learning about nature. The experimental and educational vegetable garden tells the story of the relationship between humans and plants over the centuries. To maintain this space, the principle of differentiated management has been applied and is the subject of experimental measures based on respect for the environment. This area also hosts major annual events: the Vegetable Garden Festival, the Farmers’ Festival, the Kite Festival, music festivals… Throughout the year, the site is also used for school and extracurricular activities focused on gardening and the environment.
