chateau de chambord

外观漂亮，照了很多照片，但内部空洞，不用一会儿就晃完了。如果时间许可，建议多花时间在其他城堡的精彩内部装潢。

外围的庭院跟草地在很适合席地而坐晒晒太阳(不需门票)，就算只是散散步、拍照也很舒服。城堡内部有介绍影片可观赏，看过之后会更加了解其历史和特殊的地方。

卢瓦尔河流域最著名的城堡，与舍农索共称为一王一后。从巴黎开车大约两小时可到达。城堡规模很大，气势恢宏，城堡顶部各种造型的尖塔，很有特点。并有很大的花园和园林。二月份是欧洲旅行的淡季，虽然是星期六，人很少。

卢瓦尔河谷所有城堡中最宏伟也是最大的一个，已经有500多年的历史。是弗朗索瓦一世的绝世佳作，在建筑方面超过了凡尔赛宫，城堡内可以看见很多身着旧式宫廷服的人们在其中自由倘佯。

This massive chateau has to be seen to be believed, very interesting but the size overwhelms. Well presented history and friendly staff.Only drawback no coffee available in the morning, they do lunch and coffee in afternoon. After three or is it four floors and umpteen rooms we were all dying for a caffine hit. But no. I would still visit all the same.

I did day in my last review that when you have seen one you've seen them all. This is another not to be missed. You have to see to believe.A great day out with the family.

This is a grand Chateau, with great history. The design of the staircase is amazing and at first you do not realise that they cross over. The grounds are lovely and well cared for. We are early for the tourist season so have not had to cope with crowds and this has made the tour more leisurely.

This is obviously one of the 'must sees' of the Loire valley but don't expect the glamorously decorated rooms like Chenonceau, go for the massive size, stunning roof line and excellent walking areas. Definitely shows up as a male Château ('lookat how big and grand I can be...') compared the the delicate and functionally feminine Chenonceau. Many of the rooms aren't decorated at all and it is totally FREEZING throughout (was warmer outdoors, wrap up warm even on sunny days!) but the architecture and stunning staircase are superb. The video presentation is well worth watching to understand the history and background. We found the staff quite rude and disinterested and in particular the security staff member who demanded to check our bags who was wearing no uniform or ID and we actually just though she was a member of a tour group! Staff in the cafe were more interested in drinking their own coffees at the counter and gossiping to serve us and the only other table in the restaurant. Definitely try to arrange a packed lunch to enjoy in the grounds afterwards which could leave you busy for hours, note the grounds aren't fancy gardens but a wildlife area with wonderful canals and walking tracks.

Francois premier has built it,on a place which was initially a swamp.In the center there is an illusional stair,made by LEONARDO da VINCI.

Drama describes the drive up to this Chateau, set on serene and pristine manicured grounds. The scale as one gets closer keeps one in awe in contemplating the way the Royal Court lived in times past as well as the orchestration and logistics to cater to the monarchy's brief visits here. The rooms are immense but sparse as one would imagine when unoccupied most of the year. There are several restaurants and gift shops in a small plaza on your way from the parking lot to the Chateau. The Chateau is a very easy stop off and well marked on the way down from Paris. We took about an hour to tour the chateau and part of the grounds (a Fall weekday with no crowds), stopped in for a quick snack and coffee (jetlag having flown in that day), and then were on our way.

Loved it. Impressive from the outside and the inside. Although it isn't all furnished it is worthwhile. The gift shop is one of the best in France, good prices and beautiful pieces.

Really wonderful chateau in the Loire Valley. The estate is sprawling and the actual castle is very impressive. There is not a lot going on inside the castle. The highlight is the Da Vinci spiral staircase and the architecture on the roof.

This was my twelve year old daughter's favorite Chateau in the area. The mere size impressed her very much.

The chateau itself is breathtaking but, for us, the real attraction was the surrounding grounds much of which was a replica of the original estate. Allow yourself the better part of a morning or afternoon to stroll around and absorb the history. They also have a nice gift shop with commemorative items. Parking is a bit distant so be ready to walk down a scenic lane to reach the main area. This is a nice visit for the history buff or just a tourist.

It's so beautiful!!! It's so impressive! Unbelievable!!! Love it! Though, they not very child friendly, there are no elevators, so the stroller has to stay at the entry. The parking is not free. So you can just enjoy it outside I guess... Pay for the parking and walk around. But its nice inside too. The rooms are not something really amazing, just the building is incredible! The balconies!!! The whole thing!!! Love it! Will be back for sure!!!!
