Family Stays in Blois: Space, Comfort and Château Country on Your Doorstep
Blois sits at the heart of the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage region that genuinely rewards families. The Château Royal de Blois is a ten-minute walk from the city centre, the Maison de la Magie Robert-Houdin entertains children of all ages just opposite, and the broader Loire à Vélo cycling network gives active families hundreds of kilometres of signposted, mostly flat routes. Whether you are looking for a self-catering gite with a garden, a countryside domain where children can roam freely, or a central hotel that puts the old town sights at your feet, the accommodation options around Blois cover a wide range of budgets and group sizes.
The properties listed below have all been rated by recent guests and are positioned either in Blois itself or within 15 km, keeping major family attractions reachable without long daily drives. Location matters when travelling with children: a gite or domain in the countryside trades the walk to the château for private outdoor space and quieter surroundings, while a central address in Blois means less time in the car and more time exploring the cobbled streets, the river embankment and the nearby Château de Chambord, roughly 20 km to the east.

Is staying slightly outside Blois practical when visiting family attractions?+
Yes, for most families it is very practical. All properties on this list sit within 15 km of Blois city centre, which translates to roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car. The main family attractions, including the Château Royal de Blois, the Maison de la Magie and the Loire riverfront, are easily reached from any of these properties. Staying outside the city centre also brings benefits such as quieter surroundings, easier parking and, in the case of domain or gite properties, private outdoor space.
What family activities can we do during a stay in Blois?+
The Château Royal de Blois offers guided visits and a sound-and-light show in summer that children find engaging. The Maison de la Magie Robert-Houdin, directly facing the château, stages magic shows and interactive exhibitions. The Loire à Vélo cycling route passes through Blois and connects to Chambord and Cheverny, two of the most famous Loire châteaux, both well suited to family visits. The Loire riverbanks offer walks and boat trips, and several farms and animal parks are accessible within a short drive of the city.
