Blois is a pretty little French city sitting right by the Loire river and is a great base from where most of the Loire valley châteaux are accessible by bike, car or public transport. The château de Blois has several buildings built by different kings and has an excellent light and sound show that starts in spring. What better way to learn about the region's history! #loirevalley #chateau #history #lightandsound #kidslearning #familyfriendly
