Royal Trip - Blois

The weekend before this one, some classmates from Eurocentres and I rented a car and took a short road trip to visit some Chatêaux close to Amboise. To those who didn't know, the Loire Valley is known for its numerous Châteaux -over 200- which go. Sadly, I don't have the time to visit all of them (heck, I don't have to visit half!), but I did get to know Blois, another small city close to Amboise (about 45 min. by car) and the Château de Chambord e de Chenonceau.
