I am considering traveling to Blois, in the Loire Valley for the month of July. I know it is warmer, but would this be a good base to travel without a car and rely on trains.

If you are looking for a location from which to base yourself and to rely on trains, I might suggest Tours, the transportation hub of the region. Blois has limited transport options and is much smaller than Tours.
Staying in Tours, you will want to base yourself somewhere between Tours, Centre, the train station and Place Plumereau in Vieux Tours (Old Tours). Other areas of the city hold little interest for tourists.
