In Tours, on place de la Cathédrale, La Belle Vue occupies the top floor and offers an advertised almost 360° panorama over the city, with Saint-Gatien Cathedral directly opposite. The venue is arranged on two levels: a food court below and a rooftop above, more focused on the view, bar and sharing plates.
Lunchtime or evening?
At lunchtime, the rooftop offers a bistronomic selection. In the evening, the atmosphere shifts towards tapas, cocktails and desserts. Late afternoon is particularly appealing for appreciating the details of the Gothic façade before the city's lights take over.
Events that change the atmosphere
DJ sets, relaxed concerts and brunches are regularly organised. If enjoying the panorama in peace is your priority, check the programme before choosing a time.
Which table should you ask for?
Saint-Gatien Cathedral is the main visual landmark. When booking or arriving, it is therefore worth mentioning that you would like a table facing it.
What to know before visiting
La Belle Vue is at 4 place de la Cathédrale, 37000 Tours. The rooftop can also be partially or entirely hired for private events.
An extra detail is the close-up view of Saint-Gatien: rather than a distant skyline, you can enjoy the architecture of Tours' historic centre at close quarters.
