A symbol of the power of Francis I, the Château de Chambord is the largest of the Loire Valley castles.
Built in the 16th century, this Renaissance masterpiece is famous throughout the world, particularly for its grandiose architecture and its spectacular double-helix staircase, the design of which is often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.
The château is located in the heart of Europe’s largest enclosed forest park, spanning more than 5,000 hectares.
This classic Louis XIII-style château, which has remained in the same family (the Hurault de Vibraye family) for more than six centuries, is renowned for having the most lavishly furnished interiors of all the Loire Valley châteaux.
Built in the 17th century, it features architecture of rare elegance and houses sumptuous interiors, including the famous Armory and a rich collection of works of art.
The château is world-renowned for having inspired Hergé to create the Château de Moulinsart, Captain Haddock’s home in the adventures of Tintin, and also features a permanent exhibition dedicated to this universe. The vast gardens and the kennel, home to about a hundred hunting dogs, round out the visit.
Harmoniously blending Renaissance and Classical styles, the Château de Valençay is a major landmark of the Loire Valley, overlooking the Nahon Valley.
It owes its fame to the Prince of Talleyrand, a diplomat under Napoleon, who acquired it in 1803.
The estate features sumptuous Empire-style interiors, a remarkably well-preserved Italian-style theater, and a vast 40-hectare park that includes French gardens and a wildlife park.
The Royal Castle of Blois, located in the heart of the city, is a unique architectural and historical synthesis of the Loire Valley castles.
A favorite residence of seven kings and ten queens of France during the Renaissance, its history is reflected in its four wings, which trace the evolution of architectural styles from Flamboyant Gothic through the Renaissance to Classicism.
It is famous for its spectacular spiral staircase in the François I wing, a masterpiece that inspired Chambord.
The castle also houses the Blois Museum of Fine Arts and was the scene of historic dramas, including the assassination of the Duke of Guise on the orders of Henry III. A nightly “Sound and Light” show is projected every evening onto the four facades of its courtyard.
