Blois is a small city now but had a grand past being the home for many of France's early kings. The chateau is well preserved in the middle of town and was well worth the visit. In addition to the chateau, we strolled around downtown and visited a couple of churches. Here are a few shots. The detail shot shows King Francois I's famous fire breathing salamander (I don't make this stuff up).
