When we get to Chambord, we are impressed by the beauty and architecture of the castle. There are great pictures to do with the reflection of the castle in the channel. The area seems huge. The interior is a little simpler because the parts of the castle are all furnished. The double staircase is fabulous. Enjoy strolling on the top deck and watch more closely the architectural details of Chambord. Also the view of the forest is great.
