Chambord Castle, Chambord (France) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Chambord Castle in Chambord -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi, I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.

A first look at the Chambord Castle roof line might mistake it for a small city.

This dreamlike château was built by François I as a hunting lodge.

However, this hunting lodge is a rival to any structure in France for beauty and splendor.

The elaborate architecture brings together the best of French and Italian renaissance design.

Chambord Castle is also rich in history; generations of French monarchy and nobility lived in its walls.

The castle's centerpiece is a spectacular double-helix spiral staircase that rises to the top floor.

This unique staircase is said to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci.

The château also has a 13,000 acre game reserve, making the entire experience beautifully serene.

Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.
