    The most famous of the Loire castles and symbol of the French Renaissance throughout the world, Chambord was built for King François I in the 16th century.

    The Domaine national de Chambord has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 1981. Its 5,440 hectare park has the same surface area as the city of Paris intra muros. It has also been a national wildlife and hunting reserve since 1947.

    Here you have a beautiful view of the north facade of the castle. Its architecture is extraordinary and its size impressive.

    The Château de Chambord is one of the jewels of the Centre-Val de Loire region. Built in 1519 during the reign of François I, the castle is the largest of the Loire castles.

    A particularity, its architecture clearly inspired by the Gothic style also responds to a medieval model of fortified castles. Its construction remains spectacular: the castle has 156 meters of facade, 44 meter high dungeons, 426 rooms, 77 staircases, 282 chimneys and 800 sculpted capitals. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981 and recorded on the list of historic monuments since 1841.

    Hiking

    Visit in low season, otherwise overcrowded. A walk in this park is worth it.
