The Touraine Reform (French: Réforme de Touraine) was a Carmelite Counter-Reformation movement of return to regular observance, which appeared in France at the beginning of the 17th century, spreading throughout Catholic Europe and beyond. It gave rise, among the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance, to the constitution of an independent congregation, whose spirit of strict observance would gradually spread to all the provinces of the order.
