Saint-Lubin Street

Since we’re out and about, we might as well take you down some of Blois’ most famous streets. You know how every city has that one place? A square, maybe, or a really lively spot where everyone’s always having fun. Well, in Blois, there’s Saint-Lubin Street. Nestled in the heart of the city, it seems to have been frozen in time. The street has hardly changed at all since its construction, except for the trees and some minor alterations to the buildings. Now, the antique shops and restaurants are a nice touch, but it’s the beautiful old buildings that really give the street its historic charm. These half-timbered or stone houses, dating from the late 15th or early 16th century, were beautifully preserved or restored. They are like time capsules, transporting us to a bygone era. You feel as if a horde of knights, on their trusty steeds, are about to gallop past you. Space travel is great, but time travel is even better!”
