Blois is a small town with a population of about 50,000 in the Loire valley, between Orleans and Tours. Apart from the 18th-century stone bridge over the Loire which often appears in tourist brochures, the town's chief attraction is its castle - the Chateau de Blois - in the town's center. The earliest records mention Thibaud I, Count of Blois, in the 10th century. He founded a family that remained in power until 1230. It was at that time that the first stone castle surrounded by a bastion was erected. Of the many medieval remains, the best preserved is a tower on a terrace overlooking the Loire. In 1429, Joan of Arc went to Blois to seek the blessing of the Archbishop of Reims before embarking on her campaign against the English in Orleans. Prince Louis of Orleans, the son of King Charles V, lived in the castle for 25 years with a small court. His grandson, King Louis XII, decided to move to Blois, making it a royal town and capital of the kingdom.
