Château de Blois

Château de Blois, located in the Loire Valley of France, boasts an impressive exterior with four wings encircling an interior courtyard. Inside, the castle features royal apartments spread across two floors, including chambers that once housed numerous monarchs; notably, Catherine de Medici is believed to have passed away in the Queen’s Chamber. The Louis XII Wing now houses a fine arts museum, which has been open since the 19th century and spans nine rooms. Visitors can explore these historic spaces and view the art collections, often as part of single or multi-day tours from Paris.
