CHAMBORD:  By visiting this château with its enchanting unique architecture conceived by François I and influenced by the style of Leonardo da Vinci, you will travel through 500 years of French history. In 2016, a restoration project of the French gardens was launched, it lasted 5 months and today allows you to walk in sumptuous surroundings. Chambord also has a magnificent English garden which acts as a transition between the village, the church and the château itself.
We can' t mention Chambord without referring to its forest, the largest walled park in Europe - as large as Paris itself!
