Your arrival at Tours

There are two train stations in Tours: one in Tours Centre and one in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, 3km away from the city centre. Be careful, most of the TGVs stop at Saint Pierre des Corps and not at Tours Centre. Please check your ticket before leaving! For trains which stop at Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, you have to get off at this station and then to take a shuttle train to Tours Centre. Usually the shuttle leaves on the opposite platform.
