Discover the Tours campus
Based since May 2025 in the heart of the dynamic 2 Lions district, the EXCELIA Group campus in Tours hosts the programmes of EXCELIA Business School, EXCELIA Hotel & Tourism School and EXCELIA Communication School. This new teaching site responds to the growth of the school, where student numbers have tripled in three years.
Designed with a bioclimatic approach, with a timber structure and straw insulation, the building is part of the Group's CSR commitment. It features a spacious, light-filled central hall, social and work areas on each floor, work pods of varying sizes for concentration, a planted terrace, a covered area equipped with games and a rooftop with a panoramic view of the River Cher.
