The castle of the Loire

Château de Chambord

The Castle of Chambord

The largest castle in the Loire Valley, Chambord Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is part of the largest closed forest park in Europe. The castle of Chambord was built according to the will of François Ier, who never saw it completed. A masterpiece of the Renaissance style, with some 430 pieces, the castle has medieval elements such as the central dungeon with its towers. The double revolution staircase is the most striking architectural element. Its facade with four round towers is reflected in the waters of Cosson that come to underline its majesty

The Castle of Valençay

The magnificent Renaissance castle of Valençay arises on the site of an old medieval fortress. Enlarged several times, at the end of the 18th century it was one of the largest in France. The facade of the main courtyard is an excellent illustration of the beginnings of classical architecture in the Loire Valley. The history of the Valençay estate is not unimportant: Napoleon himself decided to buy it, offering it to his minister Talleyrand, in order to increase his prestige … The luxury of the interior is for something …
