A lovely summer evening in the Loire Valley must include the Sound & Light Show at the Chateau Royal de Blois. A favorite residence of French royalty since the 15th century, Blois also received Joan of Arc who came here in 1429 to have her banner blessed.The show, which runs 45-minutes-long (through Sept. 26) was scripted by French historian Alain Decaux and features the stories of love, drama, and mystery for which the chateau is famous. Special effects, atmospheric lighting, and dramatic music fill the magnificent architectural space, drawing spectators into a magical world that transcends the centuries.
Nightly show begins at nightfall, at 10 p.m.; guests can enter the inner courtyard 30 minutes early and listen to music while images are projected around the stone walls. Wednesday evening performances are in English.
Prices for the Son et Lumiere only: €7 for adults, €4, ages 6-17. Tickets may also be purchased as a Chateau & Show combination: €14 adults €6, ages 6-17
