The Turones are a Gallic people. They occupied the area of Touraine and gave their name to the town of Tours.

The City of Turons profited from a free statute of city, as attests it the inscription visible in the foundations of the enclosure of the Lower Empire with the basement of the Museum of the Art schools: CIVITAS TURONORUM RELEASED .
