To mark the 30th anniversary of their obtainment of the “Town of Art and History” label, the Cities of Blois and Angers have concocted highly original event programmes designed to acquaint visitors with their respective heritages. The City of Blois has also inaugurated a new series of booklets entitled "Focus sur Blois", which aims to bring mediation, spatial planning issues and the specificities of the city’s urban landscape together through the medium of history.
Blois
The first issue of “Focus sur Blois” explores the Vienne District, following the exhibition mounted in the public space in summer 2015 while reclassification work was being carried out, during the last World Heritage Mediation Meetings.

The event programme for summer 2016 invites visitors to make full use of their senses.
And what if heritage could be discovered through simply stroking a stone, through the delicate scent of a rose, through the play of light in a cemetery, through a bar of chocolate whose every bite conjures up the image of a city neighbourhood, or through a piece of music with the power to make the walls of a monument dance?
