Thouars has a railway station north of the old centre, with regional connections toward Saumur, Tours, Poitiers and Angers. From the station, the historic centre is about a 15-minute walk.
By car, Thouars is easiest as a stop between Poitiers, Saumur and the western Loire. The town is also on the Velo Francette cycle route, which makes it a good overnight or long lunch stop for riders crossing this part of western France.
