What to expect
More than a castle, Château de Chambord is a work of art, a glorious historical place that will take you to the heart of the Loire Valley. It's a beautiful blend of Renaissance French architecture and traditional medieval styles.Built in 1519 by King Francis I as a hunting lodge for the royal court, the castle is situated in a huge walled 10000-acre forest and is probably the most spectacular castle in the Loire Valley. Even though never completed, Chambord developed into the largest chateau in the Loire Valley with over 400 rooms, nearly 300 fireplaces, and 85 staircases, including, of course, the impressive double helix.Chambord is a jewel of architecture and nature, born from the dream of Françoise I and inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. During your visit, you will be immersed in a unique and magical atmosphere. To end your visit on a high note, do not forget to climb to the rooftop, and you will be rewarded with breathtaking views over the surrounding Loire Valley landscape.There is a large range of activities available on the spot: visit of the chateau with Histopad (digital tablet) or guided tour, horse show, ride in an electric vehicle, punt or bicycle, visit of the reserve in an all-terrain vehicle in the estate to meet deer and wild boars, walking and cycling paths, and more.
