The Royal Château de Blois is a significant monument for understanding French history from the 13th to the 18th centuries. The château features a blend of Gothic, Baroque, and French Renaissance architecture. This skip-the-line entrance allows you to explore its evolution at your own pace.

The château is associated with seven kings and ten queens of France and consists of four main areas: the medieval fortress remnants and the Louis XII, François I, and Gaston d'Orléans wings, which contain the lavishly decorated quarters of the monarchs.
