Chateau de Blois was our Saturday morning destination in the Loire Valley.

Louis XII lived in this chateau with Anne de Bretagne. His symbol was the porcupine and Anne's was the ermine.

After touring the chateau, we had time to wander around the town of Blois and get some lunch. It was Saturday--market day in Blois. We enjoyed wandering around the market and took advantage of the cheaper prices outside of Paris to pick up some produce for Sunday dinner.
