Recorded before the Middle Ages, Blois then became the centre of an important feudal power. On the site of the old castle, King Louis XII (1498-1515) and his wife, Anne of Brittany (1491-1514) embarked on the construction of a vast Renaissance palace. Behind its walls some of the most traumatic pages of French history were written.
