Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
Centre and Plumereau
Place Plumereau and the timber-framed streets off it, loud until late, with the central faculties a few minutes away. Dearest in Tours and the most entertaining.

What to know before choosing a room in Tours
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Tours has a long-standing reputation for the clearest spoken French in France, which is why a disproportionate number of its students are here on language programmes rather than degrees. The Université de Tours is split by the Loire and the Cher: the humanities and the law faculties are in the centre near the river, medicine is at Trousseau in the south east, and the newer Deux Lions campus sits across the Cher to the south west. The Loire châteaux start a few kilometres out and the tram connects most of it.

Getting around Tours
One tram line runs north to south through Tours from Vaucanson to Les Deux Lions and Joué-lès-Tours, and with the Fil Bleu buses it covers every university site on a student pass. The city is flat and cycling is genuinely easy, with the Loire à Vélo route running along the river and out past the châteaux, which is the best thing about a weekend here. Two stations matter and they are not the same: Tours centre for local trains, and Saint-Pierre-des-Corps for the TGV, with Paris about an hour away. Bordeaux is two hours and the Atlantic coast three.
