Blois is built on a pair of steep hills, winding and steep pathways run through the city, culminating in long staircases at various points. To the south of the city, the Forêt de Russy is a reminder of the thick woods that once covered the area. The town stands on the river Loire, so unsurprisingly, it sports a magnificent old bridge as well as Renaissance castle. It also has a unique museum dedicated to magic.
