I miss The Pale. It's been too long, but I have so many great memories from The Pale. My only…read moreregret is that I was unable to attain a mug with my name on the wall in the time was a regular there. It is a great place to take in sporting events and chat with others in your similar situation. My fondest memory was The Pale being our starting off point during Fête de la Musique. I dream of my return.

One of my favorite spots in Tours! A group of us stopped in at the restaurant, above the waterside…read moreseating, for a late dinner and drinks. A chalkboard menu displayed the available appetizers, entrees and sides of the day. Some items were sold out and crossed off on the busy night we were there. I had the steak and fries. My steak was served quite rare and very buttery. That night through the next day I actually got quite stomach sick but I'm not sure it was food related. (Minus one star just in case!) The dining experience was so lovely under twinkly lights and open air. I came here another night when it was an open air dance party with a DJ. So much fun!! The beers were served in pitchers with different flavorings like lemon and orange. I was skeptical as I'm not a big sweet alcohol fan - but it refreshing and light. There is a large beer garden style area with umbrella covered tables and chairs for chatting and relaxing. The service at the restaurant wasn't the most pleasant, but the bar staff was very nice. The atmosphere and the view are certainly worth checking out. Happy to be introduced by our local friend to such a wonderful gathering place.

I've read about guingettes on a travel magazine some time ago. It sounded rather fascinating. Then…read moreI forgot about it. Then our AirBnb host told us the guingette by the river was open. We thought sure perhaps we'll check it out. We then end up renting bicycles and cycling along the river and we stumbled upon the guingette. It looked so lovely that we decided to come back a little later. We're so happy that we did because we had a magical evening. It was such a lovely experience even to just sit and watch the couples pair off and dance. I wished I knew enough French to join in on the lessons! But even just sitting there and drinking wine and enjoying each other's company we had a great time and it was one of the most memorable experiences of that trip. We even discovered a new song/artist that now when we listen to, reminds us of that evening.

It was not too busy and it has a tv for sports if that is what floats your boat but no tv sound, just ambient music. I did not try the food. They have a selection of Belgian beers and Brooklyn and Proper Job Cornish beer. My Cornish side said to have that but I stuck with Tongerlo Belgiun trappist beer. They have wifi but I didn't get much out of it. I think because they were streaming the music for the bar. Bar staff very relaxed and told me about the music but generally quiet. Good place to lose yourself after 3pm when it its too hot to move.
