Chateau de Blois was of especial note as being where we saw the Porcupine coat of arms of King Louis XII but apparently have no photo of it
Dad's Notes:
Broke camp in rain at 9:30; drove to Chambord; a magnificent, large chateau built by Francoise I; many towers; inspired if not designed by Leonardo da Vinci; big stove, staircases, including one fine exhibition on top floor; fine views from topmost tower. On to Blois for lunch in Cora Cafeteria. Afternoon in Chateau of Blois; a triple treat, Medieval, Renaissance and Classical; good tour through interiour, beautiful views over old town; good exhibition in Chateau by Blois Musee des Beaux Arts. Still cold and wet; no camping, night in annex to La Gerbe d’Or. Dinner in room.
