The structure of the castle of Blois, the largest of all the palaces of the Loire Valley, is very unusual. Erected on a high river bank, the castle is a quadrangular composition, and each wing of the palace is built in its own style, because several generations of architects worked on the construction. The result is a very harmonious ensemble, pleasing the soul with the beauty of forms and elegance of lines. A favorite residence of French monarchs, the palace of Blois is now protected by UNESCO and is open to visitors, but in past centuries great tragic events unfolded here. Catherine de Medici died in the castle, and a few weeks before that the whole of Blois was shaken by the brutal double murder of the brothers &#8211; Cardinal of Lorraine and the Duc de Guise. Although the chateau-palace of Blois suffered during the Revolution, after restoration works both inside and outside it is a very interesting sight, which tour company Metropol Voyage offers you to pay attention to during the tour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Recommended visit:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/chauffeur-service-in-paris\/\">Transferts in Paris<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/paris-sightseeing-tour\/\">Private Paris City Tour<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/champagne-private-tour\/\">Private Tour to Champagne<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/private-tour-to-normandy\/\">Private Tour to Normandy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/loire-valley-castles-tour\/\">Private Tour Loire Vallley Castles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/private-tour-to-mont-saint-michel\/\">Private Tour Mont St Michel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/metropole-voyage.com\/en\/tour\/bruges-private-tour\/\">Private Tour to Bruges<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Other castles of the Loire Valley:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3921\">Villandry Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3905\">Chenonceau Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3907\">Royal Chateau of Amboise <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3909\">Chateau de Chambord<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3911\">Cheverny Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3913\">Chateau de Blois<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3915\">Ch\u00e2teau de Chaumont-sur-Loire<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3917\">Loche Castle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=3919\">Chateau of Azay-le-Rideau <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Tour Rating:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tourists from all corners of the world come to the center of the cozy French city of Blois to see with their own eyes the royal castle-palace of the 13th century, perfectly preserved to our times.
