Description
Chateau de Chambord The Chambord Castle
We awoke to a day of promising adventures ahead of us. Our first full day here in the Loire Valley began with plans to visit the Château de Chambord. This Château turned out to be about an hour’s drive away from our hotel. The journey may normally take a bit less time but as it happened, the morning dawned with a dense fog that made the drive a bit more challenging. (I am happy to report that we made it safely with no incidents.)
The Château de Chambord almost defies description because it is just impossibly beautiful. If you have ever watched the film Beauty and the Beast, you will have a better time picturing just how majestic it is.
This is no accident because the castle featured in the popular animated version that was produced in 1991 took a few visual cues from the Château itself. Sure enough there is also a remake of the movie and The Hollywood Reporter published a little article on it.
They go into some detail about how the castle in this newest version of Beauty and the Beast was created, in part, because some of the crew visited the Château for research purposes. A trip to a majestic French Château certainly sounds like part of the perfect job description to me; how about you?
Beyond the beauty visible within the walls of the place, there is beauty that matches the interior all around the outside of it as well.
Visitors to the Château will observe manicured French gardens as well as a dense forest of trees in the area. And, of course, the architecture will simply take your breath away. As a fun bonus, this year marked the 500th anniversary of the Château. Can you imagine buildings this old? It was so fun to tour the Château de Chambord and just dream of all of the many people who roamed its halls centuries ago.
