When to go to Blois?
Set on a spur above the Loire, the château puts four wings in four different styles around one courtyard, including a spiral staircase carved like lace. Below it the old town runs downhill in cobbled lanes and timbered houses, stitched together by the long Denis Papin stairway. The Maison de la Magie faces the château and answers it with illusions.
