Blois, royal city in the heart of the castles

Welcome to Blois, a city of art and history nestled on the banks of the Loire, known for its royal castle, its medieval streets and its elegant atmosphere. With its rich past marked by François I and Catherine de Medici, Blois is an essential stopover to discover the Châteaux of the Loire.

A castle with a thousand faces
The Royal Castle of Blois is a true lesson in architecture, mixing Gothic, Renaissance and classical styles. It was the residence of several kings and queens of France and retains a sumptuous interior, with richly decorated rooms and majestic galleries. To experience the royal magic, don't miss the nightly sound and light show, which stages the castle's major events in a magical atmosphere.

A historic center full of charm
Blois is a city to explore on foot, with its steep staircases, cobbled squares and half-timbered houses. Enjoy a stroll to the Maison de la Magie, a unique museum in France dedicated to the illusionist Robert-Houdin, where automatons and shows amaze young and old.

An immersion in the heart of the Loire Valley
Located near the most beautiful châteaux of the Loire, Blois is the ideal starting point for visiting Chambord, Cheverny and Chaumont-sur-Loire, accessible by car or by bike thanks to the cycle paths that run along the river.

A gastronomy inspired by products from the Loire Valley
The Blois region showcases specialties such as Tours rillettes, Loire fish and matured goat cheeses. For those with a sweet tooth, try the Pithiviers feuilletés, a local sweet made with almond cream, perfect with a glass of Touraine white wine.
