Entrance Ticket to the Château de Chambord

The Château de Chambord is a huge and exceptional masterpiece of architecture from the Renaissance time, a World Heritage site by UNESCO since 1965. This majestic castle acts as a gateway to the Loire Valley. Château de Chambord was dreamed up by King François I, and is the biggest and most prestigious of all the French Renaissance Castles.

No one knows the architect, but this masterpiece seems to have been inspired by sketches by the Italian master, Leonardo da Vinci, particularly the famous double-helix staircase. This staircase takes you up to the terraces, from where you get a wonderful view of the roofs and their towers, chimney stacks, and dormer windows, as well as an unobstructed view of the estate, which is as big as the city of Paris.

Discover the estate on foot or by bike and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature in the 1,000 hectares of forestland open to the public. Animals roam free around the grounds and look-out areas have been set up for you to observe them. Visits can also be made on horseback, in a horse-drawn carriage or in a 4×4.

Visit Blois

Situated at the heart of the Loire Valley, the town of Blois is not only home to one of its most iconic châteaux, but a recognized Ville d’Art et d’Histoire (Town of Art and History) with surprises of its own.

Wander along the lively little lanes of the old town and seek out the hidden courtyards and paved squares on foot or in a horse-drawn carriage: the perfect way to sink gently back into the life of Blois of past centuries. Don’t miss the mysteries of the Maison de la Magie in the Place du Château, which reveals all the art of conjuring through a series of exhibitions and shows. Two religious buildings are also worth a detour: the Gothic Saint-Louis cathedral with its tall Renaissance-style tower, and the church of Saint Nicolas, which blends Romanesque and Gothic styles.

The Royal Château of Blois is a true synthesis of the art and history of the Loire Valley châteaux. The rich architecture of the four different wings echoes the diversity of styles of the many châteaux built in the Loire Valley from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century. From the courtyard, you can admire the different periods of French architecture ranging from the Gothic style to Renaissance to Classicism. The Royal Château of Blois was the residence of seven french kings and ten queens.
