I'm no sociolinguist, but isn't the claim that the Tourangeaux (or anyone) speak French "devoid of any accent" naive? Sure some people believe they have no accent, but they're deluded. Can some linguist rewrite this pls? Coughinink 15:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey buddy do the research then post a solution. Like you said you are not a linguist, just a guy with a comment
It is considered as the purest french (standard one as FreD says) due to the presence of several great kings in this area during the french "Renaissance" period approximatively from XIV'th to XVI'th centuries. Touraine was the heart of their kingdom and also their favorite place for hunting and climate as great castles of Loire attest it. Following kings established definitively in Paris.

French pronunciation is inscrutable to me. Could someone add this?
Not relevant to this article, but I went to Tours in 2006 and I thought it was a great place, I'd love to go back again. Mglovesfun 14:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

added a line and reference about plans to build a mosque. The website referenced to is that of the British National Party. I was unable to find a more objective source for this. I think the passage should be rephrased (with a credible source) or removed. Ideas? 82.170.157.29 ( talk) 23:11, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content! Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 ( talk) 17:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. As pointed out in the discussion, the comparison with Wells is not apples–apples. While there are many places named "Wells" and it's also a common surname, there are only three uses of "Tours" on the Tour disambiguation – Professional golf tours, which is a partial-title match, the primary topic, and a football club named after the primary topic. The French places named "Tours-something" are listed on the La Tour disambiguation. – wbm1058 ( talk) 19:55, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Tours, France –
WP:ASTONISH, see
Talk:Wells, Somerset#Requested move. Note that the category is at
Category:Tours, France per
Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 July 14#Category:Tours and the Commons category at
Commons:Category:Tours (France) with
Commons:Category:Tours for electronic media. I suggest "Tours" becomes a DAB and it can also list meanings such as those at
fr:Tours (homonymie) such as
Tours, Texas and the places in France with a suffix. However a DAB at "Tours" might end up duplicating a lot of things so maybe it should be a combined DAB at
Tour.
