For €4, you can do a mini wine tasting, which means you can try three wines from a selection of around 50. You choose your own wines from the vending machine. It's closed for lunch (1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.). You can try (and buy) various cookies for free before or afterward in the biscuit shop next door 😉.

The Royal Château of Blois was the residence of queens, kings, and princes for more than four centuries. It was the preferred residence of Duke Charles of Orléans, the birthplace of Louis XII, who lived here with his wife Anne of Brittany, the first building constructed by the king and architect Francis I, the deathbed of Catherine de' Medici, and the home of Marie de' Medici in exile.

The old Abbey Church of Saint-Laumer was built between 1138 and the beginning of the 13th century and exhibits early Gothic features. Fleeing the Normans, Benedictine monks, laden with the relics of their founder, Saint-Laumer, found refuge in Blois. They decided to establish their monastery there, the Abbey Church of Saint-Laumer, commonly known as the Church of Saint-Nicolas. From 1138 to 1186, the monks built the choir, the transept, and the first bay, completing the construction at the beginning of the following century. When the Wars of Religion broke out, the church was mutilated and the abbey destroyed by the Protestants. The abbey was rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries, and during the Revolution, it became the Hôtel-Dieu.

It's the Bracieux market hall, not Selles-sur-Cher. I don't know how we can change that.

Candé-sur-Beuvron is a small, leafy village typical of Sologne. It's a must-see stop on the Loire Valley castle route. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find them along the rivers that flow through Candé, as well as in its forests and vineyards. The village's restaurants offer local cuisine that will delight even the most discerning palates.

Blois is a very beautiful old town, with beautiful views everywhere. We were particularly surprised by the chateau, because when you stand in front of it, you really don't get a sense of its size. It's only when you're inside that you realize it.
