Sightseeing route in Blois

Blois

【City description】

There is the most characteristic castle in the Loire region in this town. Because each French king extended the castle, many construction types are mixed. Certainly, the façade is very interesting, but the interior decoration is fantastic as well. When we visit the center street, we can find beautiful and local views in the narrow paths.
