The magical Château de Chambord is the Loire château that must not be missed! Imagined by king François 1st you will be impressed by its size and its amazing architecture. Easily recognisable by the numerous towers that adorn its roof, the sumptuous architecture of Chambord has earned it the title of the most beautiful chateau of the Loire. Inside you will discover the double-helix staircase invented by Leonardo da Vinci, and much more!
Opened on the 20 March 2017, come and discover the formal French gardens recreated from the plans of the 18th century gardens originally designed for Louis XIV and Louis XV.

Currently, some work is being done on the roofs of the castle. The aim of the work is to restore the lanterns on the roofs of the Château de Chambord. The roofs concerned are the four lanterns of the keep (Tour Dieudonné, Tour Henri V, Tour François 1er, Tour Caroline du Berry) as well as the lanterns of the Tour Robert de Parme and the Tour de la Chapelle.)
