Blois is the gateway to the Loire castles. This royal city of 50,000 inhabitants is 1h30 from Paris by train and 2 hours by car.
The “Blois-Chambord” train station is just 500m from the Château de Blois. Opposite, there’s a bus station with links to the main castles. We advise you to study your itinerary and bus timetable carefully before setting off, to ensure that it matches your train.
Transport rhythms are different in high and low season. Consult the Transport section and simulate your visit on the various transport websites. Plan to visit no more than two castles a day.
