Continue to the historic town of Blois, where you'll have free time to purchase lunch, stroll through the town centre or simply enjoy its charming atmosphere.

In the afternoon, visit the elegant Château de Chenonceau, beautifully spanning the River Cher. Discover its richly decorated interiors, fascinating history and magnificent gardens during a self-guided visit.
