This town of 55,000 receives half a million visitors yearly, primarily to visit its château. If time remains after a visit to the château, you might want to walk around the town. It is a piece of living history, with cobblestone streets and restored white houses with slate roofs and red brick chimneys. Blois (pronounce it Blwah) hugs a hillside overlooking the Loire. Some of its streets are mere alleyways originally laid out in the Middle Ages, or lanes linked by a series of stairs.
