What to expect

The Royal Château of Blois was once the residence of queens, kings of France, dukes of Orléans, exiled princes, and counts of Blois. "Ainsi Blois vous est conté" is a sound and light show that reminds us of the history of France. As night falls, majestic video projections and immersive sound effects will enchant and revive the four facades of the courtyard of the Royal Château of Blois. For 45 minutes, the Blois sound and light show captivates you with the new technology of video mapping. You will be amazed by the interplay of flickering candle flames, illuminated and gilded facades, glowing ashes, spectacular stained glass projections, and the absolutely romantic effects of climbing roses. The mysteries that shaped the great history of France are narrated by famous French actors, including Fabrice Lucchini, Pierre Arditi, and Robert Hossein. From the Renaissance castle of François I to Thibault the Trickster's citadel, Gaston d'Orléans' festive residence, the murderous plots led by Henri III against the Duke of Guise, and the passage of Ronsard and Joan of Arc, you will be mesmerized by this unique spectacle in the Loire Valley.

On en prend plein la vue

Superbe spectacle à ne pas manquer si vous êtes dans la région. On a commencé la journée au château de Chambord (avec piquenique sur la pelouse, magique !) puis visité le château de Blois l'après-midi. Après le dîner, le spectacle a été la cerise sur le gâteau même si les enfants étaient un peu fatigués ! Beaucoup d'espace et à l'air libre, donc aucun problème de distanciation.

Prachtig

Het was een fantastische goed georganiseerde belevenis. 1 tip: voor diegene die er behoefte aan hebben niet op de grond te zitten/te staan, stoeltjes ter beschikking stellen.
