Source’ and ‘rue du President Coty’ belong to the Franciscan nuns servants
of Mary. Since the summer 1996, it is opened to the public. An agreement between the city
of Tours and the "Accueil Colbert La Source" organization enables the city to
keepup this park during the opening all year long.

This park Colbert La Source,
created in the 19th century, is 8000 mē wide. Between 1994 and 1996, the paths
were shaped, the spring was sheltered, the ornamental lake was checked for leaks, and the
flowing of the waters of the spring canalized. This park is a haven of peace and calmness. |
