Blois is a city in France, the ''préfecture'' (capital) city of the Loir-et-Cher ''département'', situated on the banks of the lower river Loire between Orléans and Tours.
The Treaty of Blois of September 22, 1504 concerned the proposed marriage between Charles of Luxembourg, the future Charles V, and Claude of France, daughter of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany.
Blois was associated with Champagne, Châtillon (the lords of which tended to reside in Blois), and later with the French royal family, to whom the county passed in 1391.
