If the place Plumereau is the heart of the city of Tours, the place Jean Jaurès is the nerve centre. This is the ideal landmark in the city: indeed, the two arteries that are Béranger Boulevard and the Heurteloup boulevard intersect here perpendicular, cut Tours in four well defined areas. The square is dominated by the Hotel de Ville, a magnificent monument designed by the tourangeau architect Victor Laloux at the hinge of the th and th centuries. It also houses the Palace of justice, built in 1843 in a Louis Philippe style, without forgetting the two majestic fountains, which are different over the seasons by playing light and landscaping of the best taste. However, when the square was created in 1745, it was named after the Gates of Iron and marked the southern boundary of the fortifications. What the city has grown up!

Lieu idéal pour des sorties shopping, en coeur de villes. Appréciez le tramway d'un design Burenn et du starbuck.

L'une des places centrales et principales de Tours. Elle est embelli par l'architecture de l'hôtel de ville et du palais de justice. Deux fontaines se situent en plein milieu avec la voie du tramway qui passe entre elles. Outre le fait qu'elle soit magnifique, cette place marque le début de la rue nationale en direction de la place Anatole France.

La place Jean-Jaurès est une des place centrale à Tours. Face à l'hôtel de ville et le tribunal, celle-ci est toujours bien décorée que ce soit à l'époque des fêtes de fin d'année ou en été ou la décoration végétale et les jeux d'eaux sont magnifiques. Le tramway passe juste devant. N'hésitez pas, de belles photos en perspectives.

The place Jean Jaurès is in the heart of Tours, it is the town hall square and the law courts. It has two fountains which face each other and tram passes between the two. The fountains are sometimes colourful and it is here that you will find traditional Christmas tree.
