“b-Blois” products

Proud of its territory and the talents it brings to bear, the Town of Blois has launched its brand of local products, b-blois, in partnership with companies and local craftsmen.

Aperçu des produits b-Blois

Proud of its territory and the talents it brings to bear, the town of Blois has launched its brand of local products, b-blois, in partnership with companies and local craftsmen.

Rather than proposing gadgets featuring the effigy of the town, the b-blois product range reflects local heritage and savoir-faire. It is addressed not only to tourists searching for beautiful souvenirs, but also to the citizens of Blois; b-blois is a means of supporting the local economy while concretely projecting the image of a qualitative, original and authentic Blois.

B-blois products are available in the gift shops of the royal château, the House of Magic and the Foundation of doubt. The complete range is detailed below.
