Advantages: Easy to get to, cheap flights from Stansted and Dublin Disadvantages: Very limited facilities
The world 'bijou' is one of many French terms that has found a place in English language dictionaries, and is generally taken to mean something along the lines of 'small yet perfectly formed'. Which would neatly describe the provincial airport in Tours - small and compact hits the nail on the head and this airport, ideally placed in the heart of the Loire Valley (as its full name suggests), serves a well-known French tourist destination yet has plenty of cheap flights available all year round. The reason? As with so many other small airports across Europe, it's Ryanair.

Auguste Poulain opened a confectionary-chocolate factory in Blois in 1848, the site now is a hotel but his legacy lives on and is evident on almost every street corner. The city is a good place to walk as it has many fine examples of ancient town houses to be found in its 'old quarter' on streets such as the rue Pierre deBlois and the rue du Puits-Chatel. There are also fine gardens with the Bishops Palace Garden offering wonderful views of the city and the Loire river. Just below the Château on rue St-Laumen, is the Church of St Nicholas, which is nicer than the cathedral and worth a visit.
There are other attractions provided with the cavernous Maison de ...
