Blois has its own chateau that sits in the middle of town. The Chateau Royal is above the TI. It's a short walk from the train station and if you come by car, there is plenty of underground parking.
The historic center of Blois was bombed during WWII but they did a good job of rebuilding. There are many pedestrian streets.
Eglise Saint Nicolas is a 10 minute walk from the chateau. It dates from the 1100s. Pop inside to see the blend of Gothic and Romanesque style.
Walk through the historic center to reach the St. Louis Cathedral on the northern edge of town. It was established in 1697.
Escalier Denis Papin. This is a beautiful set of stairs near the Cathedral. They were painted blue when we were there and gave a nice optical illusion of water.
