SELF-GUIDED TOUR OF CHÂTEAU DE CHAMBORD
A masterpiece of the French Renaissance, the Château de Chambord showcases the sheer extravagance and ambition of King François I. The double-helix staircase, with its unusual architecture, raises many questions – could it be the shadow of Leonardo da Vinci that looms over this truly unique monument? Set in the heart of a forest teeming with game, the château offers you a moment of relaxation and something truly exceptional.
5.00 pm
TASTING AT THE CHAMBORD BISCUIT FACTORY
In the village’s main square, a lovely shop selling regional specialities welcomes you to sample the famous ‘palets Solognots’ – biscuits that have been made just a few kilometres away for the past 25 years. Accompanied by a local wine, you’ll enjoy a very pleasant break.
