Montjoyeux or Montjoyeux-Grandmont is a district of the French city of Tours. It had a population of nearly 3,800 in 2012. Defined by Insee in its division of the Tours commune into 22 statistical information groupings (îlots regroupés pour l'information statistique - IRIS), the district is located in the southern part of the commune. It borders the other Tours districts of Les Fontaines to the north and La Bergeonnerie to the west, as well as the communes of Saint-Avertin to the east, Chambray-lès-Tours to the south and Joué-lès-Tours to the west.
The district is essentially made up of three distinct parts. To the south is the Grandmont park, which includes the university campus of the same name with its scientific faculties and some 1,000 student housing units.[1] To the north, a vast school complex combines two high schools with a middle school, while the residential area to the east comprises detached houses and a large housing estate built in the 1960s. Thanks to the strong presence of the University of Tours, this is one of the city's youngest neighborhoods, while the largest student residence is located here. Its protected park is a biodiversity reserve.[2]
