The Château de Chambord was built in 1519 at the request of François 1er. It is the largest and best known of the Loire Valley castles. Designed by several architects including Leonardo da Vinci, the castle has remained intact since its construction. Nowadays, the castle can be visited all year round. You can admire the interior, the roof and also the park, a good part of which is accessible by bike.

The largest and most famous castle in the Loire Valley should of course not be missing on a Loire tour. It is fully developed for tourism and offers a bistro and even WiFi. In addition to the impressive castle, you can also explore the huge park that belongs to it. This should come close to the area of Paris in its extension. It's good that you have your bike with you. You can explore the castle on your own or take a guided tour.

Opening hours:
From April to October every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If you have your own drinks and provisions with you will be particularly happy about the place.
In addition, he offers not only the shade table and benches but also a look at the chateau.
