Easy

Discover Château de Chambord, the most iconic and spectacular castle of the Loire Valley. Admire its revolutionary architecture, legendary double-helix staircase inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, and the grandeur of French royal ambition at its peak

Step into one of the greatest architectural masterpieces of the French Renaissance with a visit to Château de Chambord, the crown jewel of the Loire Valley.

Commissioned by King Francis I as a symbol of power and prestige, Chambord is unlike any other castle in France. With its 440 rooms, 365 fireplaces, and extraordinary rooftop skyline, it stands as a bold statement of royal ambition rather than a traditional residence. At the heart of the château lies its most fascinating feature: the famous double-helix staircase, often attributed to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, allowing two people to ascend and descend without ever crossing paths.

As you explore the vast halls and terraces, you’ll uncover stories of kings, court life, hunting parties, and the political theatre of Renaissance France. From the rooftops, panoramic views reveal the immense royal hunting estate that once surrounded the castle — a landscape designed to impress as much as to dominate.

Chambord is not just a castle; it is a vision made of stone, blending art, science, and absolute power. This visit offers a deep immersion into the grandeur and imagination of Renaissance France, making it an essential experience for anyone exploring the Loire Valley.
