Blois Connections

From Blois by Train to: Amboise (14/day, 20 minutes), Chinon (6/day, 2-2.5 hours, transfer in Tours and possibly in St-Pierre-des-Corps), Azay-le-Rideau (6/day, 1.75-2.5 hours, transfer in Tours and possibly in St-Pierre-des-Corps), Paris (5/day direct, 1.5-2 hours, more with transfer in St-Pierre-des-Corps or Orléans).

By Bus to Chambord and Cheverny: From April through August, Transports du Loir-et-Cher (TLC) excursion buses to Chambord, Cheverny, and (less important) Beauregard leave from the Blois train station—look for them immediately to the left as you leave the station (TLC bus marked Navette-Châteaux). Morning departures from Blois station at 9:10 and 11:10 go to Chambord; from Chambord, departures link Cheverny and Beauregard with various return trips to Blois, allowing you from two to seven hours at a château. Verify these times at a TI or online (€6 bus fare, discounts offered on château entries including the Château Royal in Blois; buy tickets and get schedule from TI or bus driver, www.tlcinfo.net).

By Taxi: Blois taxis wait 30 steps in front of the station and offer excursion fares to Chambord, Chaumont, or Cheverny (€34 one-way from Blois to any of these three châteaux, €104 round-trip to Chambord and Cheverny, €48 more to add Chaumont, 8-person minivans available, tel. 02 54 78 07 65). These rates are per cab, making the per-person price downright reasonable for groups of three or four.
