We are off on a wee adventure which called for an overnight stay in Tours and for convenience we chose to stay at the Grand Hotel by the transport links.We stayed here once many years ago when we were house searching before deciding to move over here, Our visit during our recent Art Deco tour influenced our choice for this trip. Big mistake, our room was at the back of the hotel so away from the potential noise of the train and bus station but much has changed in the city since our last trip. We had people out on the street behind us revelling (?) until 2.30 am then we had the bin lorry and street cleaner at 5.30/6.00am and of course the tram starting its first run of the day. Sadly the hotel's double glazing is from a different time and proved inadequate.
The hotel was a bit of a disappointment after having had a lovely evening walking around the city and trying out a new restaurant, Bistro Rossini, which proved to be a good choice.
