The Royal Chateau of Blois is an exception among the architectural symbols of French nobility. King François 1er has been deeply impressed by the Italian renaissance style, and he made the decision to amenage Blois, so as it would be for the first time a royal chateau with an humanist touch, embodying both grandeur and proximity. For the first time, the design of a castle was not intended to put visiting people in a position of inferiority, the visitor felt he has entered a welcoming house.
