Blois

Blois stands out as the most charming gateway to the valley of kings. Combining economic success and historical heritage, it is a town which pays peculiar attention to the quality of life. With more than 50,000 inhabitants and the Sologne woods all round, it boasts numerous assets. Spearheaded by major companies (suppliers for the automobile industry, food and agriculture, cosmetics...) its economy resolutely looks to the future. Blois irrigates the Val de Loire, chosen by Unesco as part of its World Heritage. With its majestic castle overlooking the river, Blois has long appealed to princes and artists. Some of the most flamboyant moments in French history were played out in this town. Blois is where the Val de Loire can be experienced most intensely!
