The first palace of Blois was built in the 9th century. Later it was often extended and reconstructed. About 1500 King Louis XII initiated
the reconstruction to a Renaissance Palace with a large garden (which does not exist anymore).
Remarkable is the helix staircase in the main wing of the palace.
