Description
A favorite residence for the French Kings in the Renaissance, the Royal Château of Blois is a resume of the history and architecture of the Loire Valley chateaux. Its 4 wings, representing 4 different styles and great staircase surrounding the courtyard offer a surprising panorama of the French architecture between the Middle Ages and the classical period. In the royal apartments, you will behold some great multicolored decorations as well as original furniture and painting telling the daily life at the Court and the power of the Renaissance kings. Francis 1st private cabinet or the royal bedrooms of Catherine de Medici and Henri III are impregnated with some major events of the French history, such as the murder of Duc de Guise.
