Aile Louis XII, Renaissance wing at Château de Blois, France
Located in the Loire Valley, the Louis XII wing features elegant stone facades with mullioned windows and sculptural ornaments dating from the early 1500s.
The wing stands as a testament to King Louis XII's reign, marking the transition from medieval architecture to French Renaissance design in the early 16th century.
The galleries contain a collection of period furniture and artworks from the Renaissance era, including paintings by Rubens, Ingres, and Boucher.
Guided tours through the wing start from the inner courtyard and operate daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, with digital tablets providing historical reconstructions.
The stone facade displays the emblem of Louis XII, a porcupine, along with numerous decorative elements that demonstrate early French Renaissance craftsmanship.
