If you like chateaux then the Auberge du Centre and its annexe is the perfect base as there are literally dozens of the most impressive within a short drive - the first in line and only 15 minutes away is Blois which is proud to consider itself very royal as it is the only château to have hosted no fewer than ten queens and seven kings of France. The main attraction is the fascinating sound and light show which, in summer, transforms the façade into a giant screen on which the most famous and colourful historic events of Blois are played out - it's quite a breathtaking experience!
