Final post for me.
The website site www.practical-tours.fr has been closed down. The guidebook is still available in Tours office de Tourisme and on amazon http://www.amazon.fr/Practical-Tours-Stephanie-Ouvrard/dp/2954452307
Tours is a fantastic place to visit and to stay. I hope you do enjoy it. I am to move by the end of the summer and is looking for some new projects.
