Really nice woman mans the front of the house. She doesn't appear to speak English, but she is very friendly and helpful nevertheless. We ended up coming her twice during our short stay in Blois because everything there looked so good inside. The first thing you notice is the rows of bread. pastries and other baked goods. Several varieties of quiche and chausson; batard loaves in olive, chèvre, lardon, and more; boules, baguette viennesoise (regular and au chocolat, croissant, etc. they also had some heart looking salads like lentil and salmon. On the menu they have available various panini and sandwiches as well (though these appear available only through lunch as we tried ordering one at 5 without any luck). In all we tried a salmon quiche, chèvre loaf, and a chicken panini, which were spectacular (and all very cheesy). When we stopped by in the morning, we also noticed that this is the place in town for baguette, as it someone walked in literally every minute with a huge bag that was promptly filled with at least half a dozen baguettes. Seriously, the quality and service here really is what you think of when you picture a cute French bakery.

We unfortunately don't speak French, so order was a bit tough - I was better off pointing at the items. But a very kind lady behind us could understand better what I was trying to order when attempting to pronounce the items compared to the cashier/baker. Anyway! This place is definitely worth a try if you're in the area; some of the better pastries I had while staying in France. I only wish the items were warm(er) upon ordering.

Anyone who comes to Blois should visit this boulangerie/patisserie. Located just across the street…read morefrom the train station, we missed it on our way into town since we arrived after closing. Then, spending most of our time in the historic district, we didn't realize what we had passed until a couple days later when we caught a train to nearby Ambois. We sheepishly tucked in for a bite once we saw how delightful all the baked goods looked (we had JUST finished breakfast and certainly didn't need more...). Absolutely exquisite! The coffee - and especially the hot chocolate - are also wonderful. We're back today and wish we had know of this place earlier; definitely the best breakfast spot in town. Well worth the short walk up from the historic district!
