We came from the U.S. and stayed for 12 days while visiting our daughter, who lives in Blois in centre ville, the center of the old town by the castle. It could not be more charming, and the same is true of this rental and its owner Elisabeth. Behind a stone wall and wooden door on one of old town's narrow stone streets, we found a beautifully renovated and furnished home with a large garden patio. It's in walking distance of everything in centre ville, and American guests be advised: you will be walking a lot, and up and down lots of steps. We had a rental car for exploring the Loire Valley that could be parked on our street when there was room. If not, the garage was down the street and around the corner. But town is made for walking, so a car is not an easy way to get around town.. Our daughter speaks French, which was very helpful as was Google translate. Despite some language barriers during the rental process, Elisabeth was always available and helpful, and we thank her for sharing her lovely home on VRBO.
