Departure for the visit of Blois and its château.
The château of Blois, which is one of the finest architecturally speaking, is certainly the most interesting in terms of history. It stands in the centre of the ancient town of the same name, towering over the battered stone houses clustered beneath its walls. This château regroups four major styles of architecture of the region ( Gothic, high Gothic, Renaissance and Classic).
Lunch on your own
Transfer to Chambord, in the afternoon.
Chambord chateau visit.
Chambord, several miles south of the Loire, is the most substantial of the great châteaux. Standing in a moat in the centre of a vast lawn bordered by forests, the body of the building possesses a majestic symmetry. In contrast, the roofscape is a mad jumble of eccentric chimneys and apartments. Some have attributed the bizarre double-helix staircase to Leonardo da Vinci.
