By Sunday we were pretty much Musee'd and Chateau'd out, so we just planned a quiet day exploring the rest of Blois.
And Blois helped us with our quiet day by closing pretty much everything.
We walked over the bridge to the other side of the Loire and found a small park to watch the river run sluggishly by. There's not much depth to the Loire at Blois.
We walked up to the cathedral but, being a Sunday morning, it appeared to be in some use. We took photos of the outside then went back to the Chateau to watch the dragons again.
Nearby was the Museum of Natural History, but it was undergoing renovation and only had one room open. Still, we found out there were European beavers, so that's something.
We were pretty worn out by that stage, but were made one last effort to climb back up to the cathedral, to see the inside.
The trip was worth it, as we found some lovely gardens behind it.
Back down the hill again to find somewhere open for dinner, and one last weary trek back to the hotel for our last sleep in Blois.
