Civray-de-Touraine is the only town in Touraine to spread widely to both sides of the Cher. This feature earned him, moreover, to be cut between November 1942 and released in two parts: one in the occupied zone (north), the other in the unoccupied zone (south).
The soil has a great variety: the north part of the Amboise forest and the vineyard (classified AOC Touraine) on the falling slopes gently toward the Cher valley. In the valley, the landscape of meadows and poplar groves of La Varenne. To the south, the primer tray of Champagne Tours with grain crops.
Its inhabitants are Civraisiens and Civraisiennes.
The surrounding communities are Amboise, Souvigny-de-Touraine, Chenonceaux Francueil Luzillé, and Bléré La Croix-en-Touraine.
