Monday's chateau - Château de Chambord.

Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, featuring its grand Renaissance façade with multiple towers, chimneys, and ornate stone architecture.

Château de Chambord stands like a Renaissance dream set loose on the plains of  Centre - Val de Loire.
Its forest of towers, chimneys, and lanterns rises in perfect symmetry, at once regal and fantastical, a palace built to impress both the eye and the imagination.

Conceived under François I, Chambord was never meant to be a simple residence. It was a statement of power, ambition, and artistic daring, blending medieval fortress forms with the new ideas of the Renaissance. Even today, it feels less like a building and more like a vision made of stone.


“Each château tells a story — of kings, of artists, and of the dream of France itself.”
