Blois, halfway between history and modernity
A pleasant living environment
It’s impossible not to fall for the charm of Blois. Located in the heart of Centre-Val de Loire, this city has a unique character, a perfect blend of history and modernity. Its Royal Castle, cobbled streets, and authentic atmosphere give it a special allure, while still being incredibly dynamic.
The city center, quickly accessible on foot, by bike, or public transport, is full of charming shops, cozy cafés to study in, and cool spots. The train station also makes it easy to travel to Tours, Orléans, or even Paris for a weekend getaway.
And Blois isn’t just a postcard-perfect town. It’s also a booming economic hub. Companies like Valeo, Sisley, and even Poulain (yes, the chocolate from your childhood) are based here. So if you’re looking for an internship or an apprenticeship, you’ll have plenty of opportunities!
A lively student life
It’s true that Blois doesn’t have the reputation of a huge, ultra-festive metropolis… but don’t be fooled! There’s always something happening here.
The Rendez-vous de l’Histoire attracts history enthusiasts from all over the world. The bd BOUM festival delights comic book fans, and Mix’Terres celebrates diversity with amazing performances and events.
Depending on the season, Blois completely changes its face. In summer, the Des Lyres d’été festival turns the city into a giant stage with open-air concerts and shows. In winter, it’s a whole different vibe with Des Lyres d’hiver—pure magic!

The Loire Castles, with Chambord leading the way, are must-sees. Spend a day there, and you’ll feel like a noble from the 16th century. If you’re more into animals than old stones, the ZooParc de Beauval—ranked among the world’s top five zoos—is absolutely worth the trip.
