Blois · Magician Tourism

La Maison de la Magie in Blois is the only public magic museum in Europe, dedicated to Robert-Houdin, the father of modern magic, who was born here. The museum features five floors of exhibits including automata, illusions, and interactive displays complemented by live daily performances in a 170-seat theatre. A signature attraction is the six-headed dragon that emerges every 30 minutes from the facade. It integrates the magic experience with the region's remarkable chateaux and Leonardo da Vinci's historic connections.
