Where to stay in Rochepinard
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The stadium fixes the address. Rochepinard hangs on the Stade de la Vallée du Cher, with the Tours regatta course and the Jardins de Bouzignac close by, and the rest of Tours takes over beyond it. The Château de Beaujardin gives the quarter its one country-house name.
Saint-Avertin and Saint-Pierre-des-Corps sit on the same roll.
About Rochepinard
What are the main landmarks in Rochepinard?
Grounds outnumber monuments here. The Stade de la Vallée du Cher heads the roll, with the stade des Fontaines de Tours, the complexe sportif Corneille and the gymnase François Raspail behind it, and the Tours regatta course adding water to the list. Two dojos are named, the dojo de Bouzignac and the dojo André Van-Hauwe.
The Château de Beaujardin and the Église de la Sainte-Famille de Tours are the built landmarks, and the Jardins de Bouzignac the green one. Boules run to the boulodrome Degas and the terrain de boules de la Plage.
What is the history of Rochepinard?
No founding date is on file. What Rochepinard holds instead is a spread of names across Tours, Saint-Avertin and Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, from the Château de Beaujardin and the église Saint-Avertin de Saint-Avertin to the mur d'escalade de Saint-Pierre-des-Corps and the ball-trap de Saint-Pierre-des-Corps. Personal names run through the rest: espace Maurice Pigeot, gymnase François Raspail, and dojo André Van-Hauwe.
The plateau EPS Greuze and the plateau basket Degas close the list.
Where is Rochepinard?
