Indre-et-Loire is a département in west central France, originally known as the province of Touraine. It is named after the Indre and the Loire rivers.
The département is marked by fertile valleys and has four significant rivers: the Loire, the Cher, the Vienne, and the Creuse.
Indre-et-Loire is the home to numerous outstanding medieval chateaux that are open to the public.
Tours, the préfecture (capital), was a center of learning in the early Middle Ages.
