<p>My wife wanted a down day so she sent me off again. I went to the city of Blois - nice choice. Blois is much bigger than Amboise with more to see - and a lot more hills to climb, as my body soon found out. My goal was the Royal Chateau of Blois. This is a castle famous for it four distinct architectural style (including Gothic, Renaissance, and Classical). It was built from the 13th to 17th centuries and served as a residence for a number of French kings and queens. This chateau was pretty impressive. <br />
<br />
From there I did some aimless wandering around the old city - very cool houses and old churches - and steep hills, but it was worth it.</p>

<p>Chenonceau is one of the most famous and visited tourist attractions in France, which we found out first hand. The day we visited it, the chateau was a madhouse. We heard it was a three day weekend in France and some schools also were on Spring Break. No personal space for anyone inside the chateau. The actual site was very cool, if you could get away from the crowds. The inside was decent but much of it was on the bare side. Still, I'm glad we visited it!</p>
