GENERAL INFO
Tour is a French noun. It can be masculine ("le tour") meaning a turn, trip, lap, or trick. It can also be feminine ("la tour") meaning a tower.
USAGE
Use "faire un tour" (to take a stroll), "c'est ton tour" (it's your turn), or "le Tour de France". For the physical structure, say "la tour Eiffel" (the Eiffel Tower) or "la tour de contrôle" (the control tower).

Be careful with its gender! The meaning changes completely. "Le tour" (masculine) refers to a turn, trip, or trick. "La tour" (feminine) always refers to a tower.
