Trivia[]

  • Although Veronaville is the ideal neighborhood for Académie Le Tour, there is no connection to Shakespeare other than the Globe Amphitheater, nor is there a connection to the Capps or the Montys.
  • This college was also used in IGN's Tutorial for University.
  • There is a residential lot in Champs Les Sims called Le Tour Tower, suggesting some connection between the French town and the university.
  • Académie Le Tour's street names all relate to pastries, mostly of European cuisine.

Although the mostly American developers at Maxis tried to give the neighborhood a distinctly French name, the official translators for the French release apparently thought something looked off with Maxis' choice of name and changed "Le Tour" to "LaTour".
