Bloisian

Bloisian (Blésois in French) is a natural region of France located around the city of Blois, Loir-et-Cher, Centre-Val de Loire.

[3] This natural region is located in the center of the Loir-et-Cher department.

Bloisian is between the following natural regions:[4] The word “Bloisian” comes from the city of Blois, whose name was firstly given by Romans to the surroundings as pagus Blesensi,[5] and seems to derivate itself from the Celtic word bleiz, meaning “wolf”.

As a result, Bloisian was originally the “land of wolves”, even though this animal disappeared in this region.

The French term is “Blésois”, but the former “Blaisois” was once correct, but it has to be avoided since it can be confused with the Blaise river surroundings.
