The elegant small town of Blois on the banks of the Loire River, a dazzling jewel of France!

✨The elegant small town of Blois on the banks of the Loire River, a dazzling jewel of France🥰! Just over two hours' drive🚗 from Paris, and you can reach this charming place. 🏰The Château Royal de Blois, truly a 'treasure of French architecture'🎊! Its four facades each display unique architectural styles from different eras, and it was once a royal castle that welcomed 7 kings and 10 queens🤴👸! The art museum inside the castle treasures masterpieces by artists such as Ingres, Rubens, and Boucher, with over 300 paintings, sculptures, and artworks that seem to narrate the European art history from the 16th to the 19th century📚. 🎩The Maison de la Magie Robert-Houdin, a masterpiece by the father of modern magic—Robert Houdin😎, is simply a magical museum of wonders🎩! Every half-hour and on the hour, the museum's 6 giant dragons emerge from the windows, clawing and snarling🐉, and they move smoothly, leaving onlookers in awe😲! ⛪️The Cathédrale Saint Louis, with its Gothic architectural style, stands at the commanding height of the town of Blois🎇. The Bishop's Garden (Le Jardin de l'Evêché et sa roseraie) is located to the east of the cathedral, and from its prominent position, you can find the tomb of Joan of Arc🛕 and a statue of her on horseback, sword in hand🗡️. She is a national hero of France, who led the French army against the English during the Hundred Years' War, showing extraordinary courage and wisdom🤗. Luc Besson's film 'The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc' was also shot here🎬! 🌉The Pont Jacques-Gabriel, is a wonderful way to enter the city of Blois🎊. Walking across the ancient Pont Jacques-Gabriel from the opposite bank of the river is like traveling through a time tunnel, entering the historical scroll of the old town of Blois📜. 🌟The sound and light show 'Si Blois m’était conté' is an awe-inspiring visual feast🎉! The entire performance at the Château de Blois is projected onto the facades of buildings surrounding the castle courtyard, offering an immersive, all-encompassing theater experience🎭, captivating and irresistible😍! 🍽️The local cuisine is not to be missed😋! For example, French baked snails🐌, with rich cheese paired with tender snails, offer a rich taste; there is also French onion soup🧅, with a rich flavor; and French foie gras, delicate and smooth, leaving a lasting impression🥰. In addition, there are local specialty desserts, such as macarons🍬, colorful and delicious🌈. Come to Blois and experience this unique elegant charm💖! You will surely fall in love with it here🥰!🌈
