Le petit bourg de Chambord se distingue grâce à son château gargantuesque. Il est impossible d'évoquer Chambord sans penser immédiatement à son gigantesque édifice dont on doit la démesure exaltée à François Ier. Située dans le petit village éponyme à peine peuplé et doté d'une immense forêt servant d'écrin à l'un des plus célèbres complexes architecturaux, cette demeure royale fut le théâtre des chasses du roi mais aussi le symbole de l'époque Renaissance en France. L'ensemble de la vie du village tourne autour du château et de ses multiples monuments comme l'église Saint-Louis, le pont des Italiens ou encore les jardins de Chambord.

What to visit Chambord?

When to go to Chambord?

When to go to Chambord? Although the Chambord area (and more importantly the castle) can be visited in any season, the high tourist season takes place during the summer vacations in July and August. Its proximity to the Loire River makes the climate mild enough in summer to visit the surrounding area. Nevertheless, prices rise during this period and it is better to book your accommodation well in advance to avoid any bad surprises. Mid-season (April-May and September-November) is perhaps the ideal time to visit the region. Temperatures are mild (even if the weather is uncertain) and the forests are filled with beautiful colors in spring and fall.
