River passing through Tours and Angers (5)

I believe the answer is:

loire

(Other definitions for loire that I've seen before include "part of France" , "Longest river in France" , "French runner" , "River flowing through Tours and Nantes" , "French river (Orleans, Tours, Nantes)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
