@chateaudechambord
🥀 Exploring this magnificent castle feels like stepping into Beauty and the Beast and this castle inspired both the original cartoon and the live action film! It truly is a fairytale in real life.
🌍 Getting There: Located in the Loire Valley, this Château is easily accessible by car, about a 2-hour drive from Paris.
⏳ Timing is Everything: Arrive early to avoid the midday crowds. The best time to visit is spring or early autumn when the weather is pleasant.
🏩Pro Tip: you can stay on the grounds of the castle at lovely Relais de Chambord like we did! You’ll be able to see the castle at night lit up and be the first in when it opens in the morning!
🏰 Explore the Castle: Take your time admiring the architecture—don’t miss the iconic double-helix staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci! Be sure to explore the many rooms, terraces, and expansive views from the rooftop.
🌿 The Park & Gardens: Don’t just stay inside! The château is surrounded by Europe’s largest enclosed forest park, so plan to explore the grounds. Bring a picnic or rent a boat to row along the castle’s canals. For wildlife lovers, consider taking a guided walk or horseback tour through the park to spot wild deer and boars.
🍷 Local Delights: After your visit, explore nearby villages for wine tastings and regional specialties.
🚲 Pro Tip: If you’re feeling adventurous, rent a bike to explore the surrounding Loire Valley.
🎟️ Tickets: Pre-book your tickets online to skip the lines.
