Blois Cathedral, officially Cathédrale Saint-Louis, is a Gothic-style cathedral that dominates the city's skyline. Rebuilt in the late 17th century after a hurricane destroyed the original, it features a harmonious blend of Gothic architecture with classical elements. Inside, visitors can admire the impressive stained glass windows, some dating from the 19th century, and the grand organ, which is used for concerts. The cathedral is a peaceful place for reflection and offers beautiful views of the Loire Valley from its terrace. It remains an active place of worship and a key landmark in Blois.
