Blois Blois Blois
Blois is a small city of 50,000 about forty minutes away from Tours. It has a real medieval feel, as if very little has changed since about 1400. The city is built on a large hill, with many winding alleyways that snake through the center. It has a nice castle in the downtown area, and several large churches. We visited on a Sunday, and even by French Sunday-morning standards, it was very quiet.
