Tours Métropole Val de Loire (293,123 inhabitants in 2016; 39,041 ha) was created in March 2017, replacing the previous Communauté urbaine Tour(s)plus.
Tours Métropole Val de Loire consists of 22 municipalities:
Tours, Ballan-Miré, Berthenay, Chambray-lès-Tours, Chanceaux-sur-Choisille, Druye, Fondettes, Joué-lès-Tours, Luynes, La Membrolle-sur-Choisille, Mettray,
Notre-Dame-d'Oé, Parçay-Meslay, La Riche, Rochecorbon, Saint-Avertin,
Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire, Saint-Étienne-de-Chigny, Saint-Genouph, Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, Savonnières, and Villandry.

The graphic identity of Tours Métropole Val de Loire was presented on 27
June 2017 in Tours. The interim logo was minimalist, featuring the authority's name in a bold sans serif type, "TOURS / MÉTROPOLE" in deep King blue and "VAL DE
LOIRE" in blue-gray.
In the definitive logo, the typography was changed to a more roundish
and sweeter type, no longer all capitalized. The colors are celestial
blue, green and gray, which instills a new momentum to the whole logo.
The green and blue ribbons on the logo's left side represent rivers Cher
and Loire, and the gardens of France, allied to form a heart. This is an
elegant way to say that Tours represents the heart of Val de Loire and
that landscape diversity is part of the town's identity.
Philippe Briand, President of Tours Métropole Val de Loire said that the
new logo was produced by a graphic designer of Tours, for a cost of 20,000 euros.
