- Place Louis XII - Welcome to Place Louis XII, a bustling square in Blois! Situated in the heart of the historic center, this largely pedestrian area seamlessly blends French heritage and lifestyle. Established between 1819 and 1823, it connects the royal castle above with the old districts of the lower town.
- Escalier Denis Papin - To your left, the Denis Papin staircase stands as a city symbol. Approach it for a closer look. Impressive from below and dizzying from the top, the Denis Papin Staircase is a must-see attraction in Blois.
- Pont Jacques-Gabriel - You are now in front of one of Blois’ iconic landmarks: the Jacques Gabriel Bridge. For nearly three centuries, it has majestically connected the historic city center to the Vienna district, spanning the Loire River.
- Rue du Puits Châtel - Nestled in the historic heart of the city, the Well-Châtel district has endured through the centuries. Visiting this area reveals its rich history, now known as the eastern part of the city, a vivid testament to medieval times preserved through 19th-century urban planning.
- Hotel de Villebresme (Maison de Denis Papin) - Often, wandering the streets of a city leads to delightful discoveries. This is especially true in Blois, where this Gothic-style stop awaits.
- Maison des Acrobates - On Place Saint-Louis, one house stands out: the House of Acrobates, one of Blois’ most beautiful homes.
- Blois Cathedral - Before you stands the cathedral overlooking the city and the Loire. Originally the site of the church of Saint-Solenne, it was nearly destroyed by a hurricane on the night of June 6-7, 1678.
- Blois City Hall - With French flags and the Republic’s motto on the facade, it’s clear which attraction you are at. Located just behind St. Louis Cathedral, this is the Blois City Hall, though it hasn’t always been so.

- Bishopric Gardens - A beloved spot for locals, the Bishops’ Gardens offer a small collection of plant species, providing a peaceful retreat on the city’s heights overlooking the Loire.
- Halle Aux Grains - Built by the first Dukes of Orléans and the Counts of Blois in the 15th century, the grain hall was once divided into two spaces: the hall on the ground floor and the courthouse upstairs.
- Chambre d’hôtes La Tour Beauvoir - Considered one of the oldest monuments in Blois, or even in France, the Tower of Beauvoir has withstood the test of time. Built between the 11th and 12th centuries by the Lords of Beauvoir, vassals of the Counts of Blois, its stronghold extended from this site to the Loire.
- Hotel D’Alluye - As the kingdom’s capital under Louis XII from the 15th to the 16th century, Blois saw the rise of private mansions to house the Court, such as the Inn d’Alluye before you.
- Eglise Saint-Vincent-de-Paul - Though not as grand as its neighbor, the Château de Blois, the church of Saint Vincent de Paul is worth visiting. Its origins date back to 1634, with the intent to build a chapel for the Jesuit college founded decades earlier.
- Chateau Royal de Blois - The Royal Castle of Blois is undoubtedly the city’s premier monument, exemplifying the art and history of the Loire Valley’s jewels. A favored royal residence during the Renaissance, it housed 7 kings and 10 queens, with countless dramas and power plays.

- Eglise Saint-Nicolas - The church of Saint-Nicolas is Blois’ oldest religious building and a Loire Valley gem. Its majestic silhouette has dominated the Loire’s banks for nearly nine centuries, showcasing the transition between Romanesque and Gothic art, built between 1138 and the early 13th century.
- 17 Quai de l’Abbé Grégoire - The imposing silhouette along the Loire’s banks, the Inn-Dieu de Blois is a monumental ensemble of great importance. Originally a Benedictine monastic building, it was transformed in the 19th century into a large hospital.
