Discover the Majesty of the Royal Château of Blois

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car in the Loire Valley, head towards Blois, which is well-signposted from major routes. From the A10 motorway, take exit 17 for Blois. Follow the D956 road into the city center. Once you reach Blois, look for signs to 'Château de Blois'. You can park at the nearby parking lot at 'Parking du Château' (Rue de la Fontaine, 41000 Blois), which usually costs around €1 per hour. The Royal Château of Blois is just a short walk from there, located at 6 Pl. du Château.

• Train

  If you're using public transportation, take a train to Blois from major cities like Tours or Orleans. The Blois train station (Gare de Blois) is approximately 1 km from the château. Upon arrival, exit the station and head southwest on Rue de la Gare. Continue straight until you reach Place du Château. You can also catch a local bus (Line 1 or 2) from the station that stops near the château. Train tickets vary in cost but can range from €10 to €20 depending on your departure location.

• Bus

  For those already in the Loire Valley, you can take a regional bus to Blois. The bus services from towns like Amboise or Chaumont-sur-Loire are frequent. Check the local bus schedule for the exact times. The bus will drop you off at the main bus station (Gare Routière de Blois), from which it's only a 10-minute walk to the château. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the bus station for around €10.
