The best ice cream shops Châteaux de la Loire

A 100% organic and artisanal ice cream shop in Tours, we love it! Certified BIOED®, the company has a policy of responsible and organic purchases by favoring short supply chains. The ingredients are mainly from organic farming, with notably whole milk and fresh cream from the Monts d'Ardèche natural park. Macaroon, caramel, blackcurrant, praline, wild blueberry or more surprising but equally delicious flavors such as tonka bean and goat's milk, the choice is yours. Impeccable welcome and quality advice!

It's not just ice creams and sorbets that are sold here... With some twenty flavors, each more delicious than the last, Olivier Onfroy is first and foremost a merchant of happiness! A true artisanal ice-cream maker, as expert in classic flavours as in the most original. We fall for his lead recipe, but also for the rose, violet, tiramisu, peach-hibiscus iced tea, rhubarb or peanut and fleur de sel flavors. All served in cones, jars or to-go tubs (remember to order in advance!)

Here, everything is homemade with natural and organic products. The ice creams and sorbets are turbinated daily in the respect of the Italian tradition, no artificial flavours and no colouring have any place in these ice creams. The fragrances are bewitching, as is the presentation of the sorbets. Different flavours for all tastes: organic citrus fruits from Sicily, banana from Brazil, coffee, salted butter caramel, Amorino chocolate, passion fruit and many other tempting flavours (raspberry, hazelnut, mango, etc.). You can also enjoy pancakes and other sweets: chocolates, sorbets, drinks, pastries, macaroons... A real treat!

Born in Orléans, this high-end brand created by master ice cream maker Fayçal Kabeeche has just opened in Tours. You can enjoy ice cream in winter or summer. After all, there's no season for excellent scoops of fruit, pistachio or chocolate ice cream. But this master ice cream maker has much more to offer, with formulas that combine waffles and ice cream, milkshakes and recipes that adapt to the highlights of the year. A great address for gourmets. Pleasant service and a charming welcome!

Les Garçons Glaciers bring not only icy delights, but also a nostalgic ambience with their vintage Piaggio. This emblematic vehicle, reminiscent of the charm of bygone years, adds a touch of authenticity to their gourmet ice creams and sorbets! With creations from their workshop, they delight the taste buds of Angevins and travel to your private or professional events. Their quality ingredients are sourced locally and organically. A quality approach that goes hand in hand with the friendliness of these two childhood friends.

Take a nice detour to Italy, on the cobbled streets of Azay-le-Rideau. For more than 10 years, this ice cream shop has been all the rage in this small village and in the surrounding area. Run by Vincent Nuvoloni, an Italian by birth, the store is never empty. Made daily on the spot, the ice creams are based on Touraine milk and the sorbets are without added flavorings or coloring. The choice is hard when you are greedy. Waffles, milkshakes or sweet Italian treats, you will succumb to all these delicacies with an authentic taste. A delightful treat!
