Since 2006, the PROG! diary has listed all the events in Touraine (exhibitions, culture, young audiences, sports) and their practical information. It's the ideal tool for making sure you don't miss a single opportunity! Every month, the magazine is distributed free of charge throughout the department. There's also a digital version, and since 2022, PROG! has had a website with an optimized search engine that lets you find current events in just a few clicks. There are also interviews and other features to help you find out more about our local artists!

TMV is a free weekly magazine distributed all over the city. It brings you the local news in a dynamic and fun way. Each week, you'll find a feature story, a portrait, local, national and international news, and a cultural agenda so you don't miss out on anything going on in the city... With a lively and alert tone, often tinged with humor, the weekly magazine, which has already published more than 400 issues, keeps you informed so that you can live in Tours at the right pace. And among our favorite pages, there is of course the TMV horoscope, as offbeat as possible and always funny. The magazine in PDF and the articles are available on the website, in case you didn't find the newspaper in your favorite shops.

The Touraine éco quarterly is the magazine of the Touraine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In its pages, it highlights local economic news through portraits of local companies as well as the actions of the ICC. Produced by professional journalists, we can count on the quality of the information and texts offered, which sometimes reveal issues of interest to professionals in the sector, but also to the general public. The publication is available free of charge (also online on the ICC website: www.touraine.cci.fr).

Tours Métropole le Mag is the institutional magazine distributed by Tours Métropole (since 2018). The principle remains the same as for its predecessor Tours Plus le Mag: a magazine written by a team of journalists and communicators, with a clear and direct tone, to highlight the actions of the Metropolis and inform the inhabitants. Reports, portraits, and graphics make it possible to tackle sometimes technical subjects in a varied way. It also includes practical news (calendar of events, works...). Published three times a year, it is complemented by the Tours Loire Valley magazines, which focus more on tourism and economic attractiveness.

It arrives in your mailbox, and since January 2022, the bi-monthly becomes monthly: Tours Magazine is the free magazine of the City of Tours. In a new 32-page format, the municipal team of Emmanuel Denis wants to give a voice to the residents of Tours and to participatory democracy. The magazine features a variety of articles on the life of the neighborhoods, works, cultural activities, portraits, reports and computer graphics to keep you informed about the city's news. And for those who prefer to browse the web, the magazine is available in PDF, and also offers on its website enriched content, in addition to the published articles.

The specialized quarterly devoted to Loire wines changed hands in summer 2019. Taken over in the summer of 2019 by a new team (journalist Antoine Burbaud and art director Jean-Baptiste Aubry), the magazine took the opportunity to undergo a makeover that gives it a second youth. The publication is a high-end work that will delight wine lovers, but the uninitiated will also find their account. On the program: portraits of winemakers and gastronomy professionals, reports...

Fritz is, of course, the stuffed elephant that every child in Tours has discovered at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours. But since the start of the 2020 school year, it's also the name of a local magazine aimed at children aged 8 to 13. Its columns cover a wide range of topics: culture, ecology, citizenship, sports and not-to-be-missed events. The team of journalists selects information rooted in current events in Touraine, from a child's point of view. This elephant wants you to know better! Available in local bookshops and by subscription.
