Tips for a good application !
When applying you will be asked to write a cover letter. This one is of a high importance in deciding of your admission. In this letter you must provide information on the lectures you followed in your previous studies and notably if they provided you with the expected requirements to follow the CADS program. These requirements are indicated in the presentation of the program of the master you apply to.
In any case, to prepare your venue in Tours, have a look at the orientation booklet for exchange program students available from the website of the University François Rabelais of Tours.
