Tours, the city of towers, was once the capital of the French kingdom in the 15th and 17th centuries. The city, located in west-central France, is tucked between the banks of the Loire and Cher rivers, and an hour's drive south from Paris. Centuries of living in a UNESCO World Heritage Site will give athletes a glimpse of beautiful city tours or châteaux, but it also has a stuffer love of the outdoors — a culture of cycling and outdoor recreation that makes it one of the flattest in France.
