Birthplace of Honoré de Balzac, Tours is the city of cathedrals, including Saint-Gatien, built between the XIIIth and XVIth century on the remains of the Gallo-Roman city. In the heart of old Tours, Place Plumereau is often cited as an example for the magnificent architecture of its half-timbered houses. The preservation of this ensemble is owed to a safeguarding plan launched in 1973, based on the Malraux Law (1962) aimed at protecting and enhancing historic heritage. "Hôtel Laloux is located on the street of the same name, 5 minutes on foot from the station, the town hall, the congress centre and all amenities. " The city-centre district of Tours, around the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, is the vibrant heart of the city. The majestic Place Jean Jaurès, with the imposing neo-Renaissance Hôtel de Ville, immediately catches the eye. Cafés, restaurants and terraces enliven the square, and the surrounding streets are lined with a varied range of shops, ideal for shopping and discovering local cuisine. Green spaces, such as the Jardin de la Préfecture, bring a touch of tranquillity. This district harmoniously blends history and modernity, creating a friendly and dynamic atmosphere. The 3 public car parks in the city centre and by the station are 5 minutes from the building, as are the Galeries Lafayette and the tram. Within 50 metres is the highly regarded Lycée Descartes, which offers higher education courses and preparation for the grandes écoles.. The building will be fitted out as 8 homes from T1 to T3 Duplex, with floor areas of 16.80m² to 81.40m² from the ground floor to the R+3, and two units with terraces. The east and west aspects of the building provide plenty of light to the apartments, and some are "dual-aspect". A spacious basement cellar is offered for sale for T3 Duplex. The scheme is based on enhancing and respecting an authentic architectural heritage. The main façade faces Rue Victor Laloux. The windows are fitted with timber casements and clear glazing with a fanlight, which enlarges the glazed area and provides generous natural light. In total, 8 homes will be renovated with care and respect for the existing heritage, combining comfort and timeless charm in a very sought-after location.
