We recommend that you only visit the historic center on Saturdays, when Blois is busier and the stores are open until 7pm.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 in Blois<\/h3>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9am-12pm: Tour of the Ch\u00e2teau Royal<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ch\u00e2teau Royal de Blois is well worth a visit! This may not be the best-known ch\u00e2teau in the Loire region, but it's nonetheless one of the most interesting. Outside alone, you'll get a quick lesson in architecture, as you observe the Ch\u00e2teau's four wings ranging from flamboyant Gothic to Classicism.<br\/>Once inside, you'll be charmed by the opulent decor of the apartments and the collections of the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts, also housed in the Ch\u00e2teau.<br\/>Find more information and photos in our article about the <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-chateau-museum-beaux-arts-castle-blois\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ch\u00e2teau de Blois<\/a>. <strong>Want a private tour to discover the ch\u00e2teau\u2019s secrets?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/blois-l134357\/blois-visite-privee-du-chateau-avec-billets-t442609\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=LL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Check this out<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/Blois\/n-DXvSZK\/Ville\/i-wMTmJDr\/0\/KXwDv9t896shQjCNXXgLHMCKnkKrSj4hhkw7mV74W\/L\/aperc%CC%A7u-chateau-blois-2-L.jpg\" alt=\"Visit the Ch&#xE2;teau Royal de Blois\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12:30 p.m.\u20132:00 p.m.: Gourmet lunch<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a morning full of discoveries, it's time to regain our strength.<br\/>In fine weather, we recommend Restaurant L'Oratoire (a 5-minute walk from the Ch\u00e2teau), offering fusion cuisine on a lovely terrace.

Take a stroll around the H\u00f4tel d\u2019Alluye, one of the city\u2019s 20 most beautiful mansions, or explore its religious heritage, such as<a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/visit-church-nicolas-blois\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Church of Saint-Nicolas<\/a>. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/blois-l134357\/visites-guidees-tc1144\/?adults=1&amp;searchSource=8&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=LL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Take a guided tour of the city to learn more about its heritage.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/Blois\/n-DXvSZK\/Ville\/i-BFZQ73G\/0\/LB7hwkbmSVV9fcK26HVg3BvrFr94Kf6GgwV4k6d2B\/L\/city-trip-blois-loire-01-L.jpg\" alt=\"Overview of the historic center of Blois\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.30-7.30pm: Relaxing at the spa<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There's nothing like a moment of relaxation after a busy day of sightseeing!
