Tours is the capital of Indre-et-Loire and the gateway city of the Touraine: the garden of France. Removal companies and moving companies cover the UK to Tours route via the A10 motorway. London to Tours is approximately 530 miles. Tours sits at the heart of the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site, midway between Orléans to the north-east and Saumur to the south-west, making it the most central access point for the Loire château belt.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Tours takes about 2 days via the Channel Tunnel and A10 south. Moving companies exit the A10 at Tours-Nord or Tours-Centre depending on the delivery district. Part load overseas removals to Tours take 7 to 12 days. Removal companies serving Tours also cover the Touraine châteaux circuit: Amboise (15 miles east), Chenonceau (20 miles east), Azay-le-Rideau (15 miles south-west) and Villandry (9 miles west).
Tours old town: the Vieux-Tours quarter in the Place Plumereau area: has some of the most picturesque but narrow medieval streets in the Loire Valley. Removal companies delivering to the Rue Colbert and surrounding Plantagenet streets confirm road width before booking. The Préfecture district and modern Tours have full lorry access. Loire riverside properties between Amboise and Langeais have flat alluvial access year-round with good D road quality.

The Rue Colbert and streets radiating from Place Plumereau have widths from 3.0 to 4.2 metres: relay vehicle for the narrowest. Moving companies note that the Vieux-Tours tramway line T2 crosses the Rue Nationale at the old town boundary: lorry crossings require TCL coordination. The Préfecture, Saint-Symphorien and Les Fontaines residential districts have full unrestricted lorry access.
Loire château properties in the Touraine circuit: Amboise, Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry, Ussé: have park-and-estate driveways. Removal companies confirm whether the delivery is to a château private residence or to a converted property within the park grounds. The Touraine countryside south of Tours towards Montbazon and Loches (36km) has excellent D road access year-round. Confirm postcode and distance from Tours centre for accurate access assessment.

An important note for Loire Valley château property buyers: historical artefacts, antique furniture and listed items within a classified monument (monument historique) may require separate cultural heritage export documentation if they are being moved out of France: this is distinct from the standard transfer of residence procedure.
