Blois offers athletic, rugby, and football stadiums; two swimming pools; an abundance of gyms; an equestrian center; and a municipal dojo. Travellers fond of cycling will not be excluded either, as the city topography is flat and thus particularly good for cycling. Once you have reached Blois by hire car, consider moving by bicycle. Don’t leave Blois without a visit to "Halle aux Grains - National Scene." All year round this theatre proposes plays, concerts, and the like. Chato'do, a major concert venue, is instead dedicated to modern music, especially young musicians. However, many of the best cultural venues in Blois are reachable only by flanerie. That is, by foot! Your visit cannot be considered complete without the Jardins du Roy, the ultimate adornment to the royal palace and an infinite reserve of ever beautiful flowers. Taking advantage of the fortification, the gardens now surround the royal castle enveloping it in elegance and conferring a magical allure to it. Originally, the gardens had the function of herbarium for medicinal crops as well as fruits and vegetables. Currently, they are more aimed at reflecting the atmosphere that reigned in the past. Finally, remember to take a walk in the Bishopric Gardens with its wonderful rose garden. You will discover a number of fragrant roses on its terrace, where a large herbarium is also located.
