Do not miss it. Worth visiting. - Loire Valley is a great place to visit. But Chambord is the cherry on top. So well preserved, the garden so well manicured. And the interiors well preserved, it shows great care and love for the old world. Don't miss it!

The Majestic Chambord Castle. - The majestic Château de Chambord is most likely the largest castle/historical residence in France after the Palace of Versailles or, at any rate, is certainly among the largest castles in the Loire Valley. Unfortunately, we could not get inside the castle, as, the last access was at 17.30 (for this I gave 4 points out of 5) time, which in July and then in the middle of summer, in my opinion, is too reduced. I can understand in the Palace of Versailles that it is an immense structure and therefore it takes a long time to get all the tourists out, but in Chambord despite being very large, they could close at 6.30 pm (at least from June to August). However, seeing even just externally this imposing castle, gave us great emotions and satisfaction, we were enchanted for several minutes. Awesome castle for how beautiful it is. Really spectacular.

Beautiful stress-free day at chambord - Very nice day, exceptional driver Service, very friendly guide though it was a bit fast, quite expensive but for the Service offered it is okay if I would have found this activity in group it would surely have been cheaper but I think it was worth it and it was a very good option. For the castle to see once in a lifetime but not twice in my case. Thank you.
