Château de Chambord.

The royal Château de Chambord at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinct French Renaissance architecture that blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Italian structures.

Chambord is the largest castle in the Loire Valley, but was built to serve only as a hunting lodge for François I.

We spend the best part of a day here and the Chateau was stunning.

A short walk across the grass behind where this picture was taken from is a very nice bar. We arrived here late in the day but on our next visit we will certainly drop in for lunch at 12:00hrs
