The Château de Chambord, in the heart of the largest enclosed forest park in Europe, is the biggest castle in the Loire Valley and the second in Fran- ce after Versailles. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also one of the most famous in the world for his 8 towers with French renaissance architecture, with the pilasters to frame castle windows and medallions to adorn the façades. Its double revolution staircase attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci is its great unexpected treasure adding architectural genius to the iconic beauty of the castle.
