This is the best castle I've seen in the Loire valley. It is huge and the architecture is very complex, like its spiraling main staircase. There is a lot to see, and the castle also has some art displays. It's actually a big site with a garden, church, village, etc. The only downside is that the parking lot is €6 (other castles don't make visitors pay parking) but given the size of the site, I suppose it goes toward its preservation. A must see!

Very amazing building and grounds in a beautiful setting. The place is huge so you could spend all day there. We visited the castle and gardens. The castle was quite amazing with lots to see and learn about. Most of the castle is open to explore so there is plenty to see. The gardens were a bit disappointing however, not a lot of actual garden to see and nothing too spectacular either.

Beautiful Chateau in beautiful grounds. Amazing place to visit with plenty of facilities and places to eat / drink Nice green area outside for picnic too and cheap all day parking. Would recommend and would go back again.

The castle is lovely, worth the price. Lots of different rooms to see and lovely gardens around it, we spent about 2,5 hours viewing the castle but it felt like 30 minutes. Also the view from the roof of the castle is amazing. If you going to stay locally, make sure you visit this beautiful place.

The most stunning castle I ever visited in France. The appearance is just crazy, day and night. The inside is full of history and the stairs will make dizzy. The food in the restaurant was really good they using products hunting from the gigantic park of the castle. You can access to the roof to have to closer to look of the dome.

Château magnifique qu’on a eu plaisir à redécouvrir et faire découvrir à notre fils de 3 ans qui a adoré. Nous avons eu la chance de faire la visite sous un grand soleil avec peu de monde (arrivée à l’ouverture). C’est un château à ne pas manquer. ✨ (Translated by Google) Magnificent castle that we had the pleasure of rediscovering and introducing to our 3 year old son who loved it. We were lucky enough to visit in bright sunshine with few people (arriving at opening). This is a castle not to be missed. ✨

Huge palace, very few pieces of furniture. Tons of rooms. Went to the very top and had great views of the gardens. When arriving early through the mist, the main entrance just looks amazing. There are places to eat, ATM, bike racks. It even has its own police force on horseback. Impressive.

Impressive castle set on huge grounds. We found the artwork exhibits the most interesting aspects, plus the double helix staircase at center of building. Very crowded, next time we would try to be there early when they open.

First visit on a Saturday. Not as crowded as expected. Still enough free parking lots. We did not find an e-car charging station. If you are disabled with a cars, you can enter for free and your accompanying person as well. Even parking will be free. This is outstanding! The castle ist amazing, the gardens wide and well to access. You can rent a golf caddy or a boat. There are some local vendors on a market styled place offering their crafted foods and drinks. We did not like the current art exhibition, but tastes are different. The collection of oil paintings is superb.

This castle is a miracle! It looks amazing, especially its roof, which is impressive. I loved wandering inside and getting lost in the maze of corridors and staircases. It all looks like a fairytale. The courtyard and gardens are astonishing as well!

I absolutely adore this Chateau! During my visit, it happened to be a quiet weekday in winter, so there weren't many visitors around. It was such a delight to explore the grounds without the crowds and have the opportunity to take plenty of photos without any distractions. Even though I only had about 2 hours to spend, I managed to cover most of the areas. If you find yourself with limited time, I still highly recommend making a trip to this Chateau. It's definitely worth it, and you'll be able to make the most of your visit regardless of the time constraints.

Nous avons visité le château en prenant en supplément la visite guidée d'1h30. C'était une vraie découverte avec notre guide Maximilien qui était très investi et extrêmement intéressant. Sans ses précieuses explications nous serions passés à côté de nombreuses informations sur l'histoire du château et de François premier (Translated by Google) We visited the castle by taking the 1h30 guided tour as an extra. It was a real discovery with our guide Maximilien who was very involved and extremely interesting. Without his valuable explanations we would have missed out on a lot of information on the history of the castle and Francis I.

Absolutely stunning and incredibly fasscinating. Not only is the chateau immense and beautiful, but there are folks running aorund in periodic-correct dress and frequent demonstrations of dance and music that occur throughout the mansion. This was a once in a lifetime visit and worth every minute.

Amazing chateau that has been kept nicely. Parking was close and very easy. Lots of grounds to walk around (or bike). We went to the falcon and horse show and it was great. Our son loved it!

An easy walk to the Chateau from the car park. It wasn't crowded at all. I really enjoyed getting kind of lost inside and wish we'd had more time from our tour to explore. It was fun to find all the outdoor corridors that connected different rooms and areas. Kids really seemed to like it.

One of the biggest castles in France. Most famous for its double helix staircase. Recently renovated, it doesn't have as many fully furnished rooms as it used too. It's become more of a museum of history and art. The catering is much improved and there are lots of activities around the castle. There's a Kid's Discovery Zone inside the castle. You should come early, so you can use the whole day to explore the castle and it's surroundings.

Splendid views!! Lots of stairs to climb, but it is worth the energy. Stairs were not steep. Found the decor of some of the rooms to be beautiful. Best to plan to spend the day. There are many things to do like riding bikes, renting a golf cart. Several places to eat and have a relaxing snack a stones throw from the chateau.

Very very cool. I loved this place. The grounds are amazing and the chateau sort of feels recently lived in. The sandwich shop was really good as well!

Wow this castle was very much bigger and grander than I’d imagine while the locals were telling us about the chateau that it’s a must-go. Indeed it is. There is a lot of history and stories inside the chateau with a very helpful slew of videos. The best part is the multiple translations available for the videos each plastered on different sides of the wall making it easy for many tourists to learn about its history in comfort. Favourite room: the video room. Favourite exhibit: the hunting room with buttons display I’d recommend getting the iPad to view the exhibits and follow the map in the given sequence in order to fully cover the château should time permit. There are also sprawling gardens for you to walk which we couldn’t finish and a cafe/restaurant inside the castle and another few outside the chateau to fill your empty stomachs from the long walks. The inside cafe only has light bites past lunch hour. There is also a kids friendly room located at the top floor, there’s a “finding Wally” game there which is pretty goofy fun. Fun fact, the chateau felt colder in the winter inside than outside. A fellow B&B owner said a similar thing too.

Beautiful castle with a rich history that clearly inspired the castle of Beauty & the Beast. It is definitely worth a trip from Paris to see this 500+ year old estate of the French monarchy.

Chambord castle or palace is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited in my entire life. It’s a one in a lifetime experience. I can’t rate this castle high enough. If I could rate it higher I would. We spent there almost 3 hours and the time went so quick. I could not believe it. I didn’t want to leave the castle as it was so gorgeous everywhere you go to. The gardens surrounding this palace are magnificent. They well looked after. You can also view them from the roof that you have access to. You definitely need to visit this stunning piece of architecture, engineering and work of art.

Impressionné par le gigantisme des lieux on a un peu peur de louper des choses car pas très évident de s'orienter. Vu la taille des pièces obligatoirement cela paraît un peu vide. Mais cela reste sans conteste un château à voir. (Translated by Google) Impressed by the gigantism of the place, we are a little afraid of missing things because it's not very easy to find our way. Given the size of the rooms it obviously seems a little empty. But it undoubtedly remains a castle to see.

Superbe château. En ce lieu chargé d'histoire, les salles sont pour la plupart garnies de meubles et œuvres d'art (dans mon souvenir ce n'était pas le cas il y a 15 ans). (Translated by Google) Superb castle. In this place steeped in history, the rooms are mostly furnished with furniture and works of art (in my memory this was not the case 15 years ago).

Impressive castle so much history. There are a lot of activities to do besides exploring the chateau. They have shows, restaurants, wine tastings, hiking trails.

Joli château, les jardins un peu pauvres. Je ne regrette pas la visite guidée juste géniale. Un guide au top, pédagogue et vraiment intéressant. 2h de visite guidée qui sont passées trop vite. Il faisait un peu froid, mais ça met dans le contexte de cet édifice (Translated by Google) Pretty castle, the gardens a little poor. I don't regret the guided tour, it was just brilliant. A top guide, educational and really interesting. 2 hours of guided tour which went by too quickly. It was a bit cold, but that puts this building in context.

Le château est magnifique et les jardins aussi. Nous avons eu le beau temps c'est toujours plus agréable pour une visite en extérieur. Tarifs abordables et personnel très sympathique. Très heureuse d'avoir visité un des plus beaux châteaux de la Loire ✨️ (Translated by Google) The castle is magnificent and so are the gardens. We had good weather, it's always more pleasant for a visit outside. Affordable prices and very friendly staff. Very happy to have visited one of the most beautiful castles of the Loire ✨️

Château magnifique de l'extérieur comme de l'intérieur, certaines pièces sont peu décorées mais les décorées sont vraiment sublimes. Visite agréable (venir le plus tôt possible pour moins de personnes au début de la visite). Le prix en vaut la peine et surtout gratuit pour les moins de 25 ans ! Durée de visite plutôt longue si on fait la totalité du château mais possibilité de restaurant à l'intérieur du château. (Translated by Google) Magnificent castle from the outside as well as the inside, some rooms are poorly decorated but the decorated ones are truly sublime. Pleasant visit (come as early as possible for fewer people at the start of the visit). The price is worth it and especially free for those under 25! Rather long visit if you do the entire castle but possibility of a restaurant inside the castle.

I have not been in a church in a very long time, but this one pulled me in. Such a wonderful and warm environment and energy, you just cannot walk past.

(Translated by Google) How can we let a Cerberus devoid of Christian charity invective, vociferate on people visiting La Chapelle ???, nothing finds favor in his eyes. The bodies running the site should quickly question its presence in this place of worship. She doesn't belong there. Keeper of the dungeon would suit him much better (Original) Comment peut on laisser un cerbère dénué de charité chrétienne invectiver, vociférer sur les personnes visitant La Chapelle ???, rien ne trouve grâce à ses yeux . Les instances dirigeant le site devraient rapidement remettre en question sa présence dans ce lieu de culte . Elle n’y est pas à sa place . Gardienne de cachot lui irait bien mieux

(Translated by Google) Very nice outside and inside little church, also if you are looking for a bit of a chill (Original) Très belle petite église extérieure et intérieure, aussi si vous recherchez un peu de fraîcheur

Small adorable church.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty little church. After visiting the castle, I really liked this little church. Relaxation and silence after the crowds and noise, thank you to all the people who give their time to provide such a welcoming place; a lot of freshness and cheerfulness emanate from the decorations and colors chosen. (Original) Très jolie petite église. Après la visite du château, cette petite église m’a vraiment beaucoup plu. Détente et silence après la foule et le bruit, merci à toutes les personnes qui donnent de leur temps pour offrir un tel lieu d’accueil ; beaucoup de fraîcheur et de gaieté émanent des décors et des couleurs choisies.

(Translated by Google) The small church is beautiful and an excellent point for a view of the castle (Original) Bella la chiesetta e ottimo punto per la vista sul castello

(Translated by Google) Small church (especially as it faces the Château de Chambord, the size of which is rather imposing) but which has a lot of charm. During the music festival (and probably other events), it is possible to see concerts there (but it is packed). Take advantage of an off-peak hour to visit it leisurely. (Original) Petite église (d'autant plus qu'elle est face au château de Chambord dont la taille est plutôt imposante) mais qui a beaucoup de charme. Durant la fête de la musique (et probablement d'autres événements), il est possible d'y voir des concerts (mais c'est plein à craquer). Profitez d'une heure creuse pour la visiter tranquillement.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent royal church. (Original) Magnifique église royale.

(Translated by Google) Nice church but discovery spoiled by the "caretaker" who yelled at us and forced us to leave while we complimented the church in hushed tones. We had not seen the message at the entrance which indicates respectful silence, but shouldn't this respectful silence also be respected by the "guardian"? She was unparalleled in her contempt and malice, when she could have just discreetly told us that we should not speak. (Original) Jolie église mais découverte gâché par la "gardienne" qui nous a hurlé dessus et nous a forcé à partir alors que nous complimentions à voix basse l'église. Nous n'avions pas vu le message à l'entrée qui indique un silence respectueux, mais ce silence respectueux ne doit-il pas aussi être respecté par la "gardienne" ? Elle a été d'un mépris et d'une méchanceté sans pareil, alors qu'elle aurait pu juste nous signaler discrètement qu'il ne fallait pas parler.

Château magnifique de l'extérieur comme de l'intérieur, certaines pièces sont peu décorées mais les décorées sont vraiment sublimes. Visite agréable (venir le plus tôt possible pour moins de personnes au début de la visite). Le prix en vaut la peine et surtout gratuit pour les moins de 25 ans !

Excellent wine, reasonable prices and good service. And air conditioned! Highly recommend. Enjoy!

Good choice of wines. The lady who served us was extremely helpful.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant experience: the welcome is very warm, the interactive wine tasting system is quite original (it was a first for me) and not to spoil anything, the selection is very relevant. It's impossible not to find the right shoe among the many references! (Original) Fort sympathique expérience : l'accueil est très chaleureux, le système de dégustation de vins interactif est assez original (c'était une première pour moi) et pour ne rien gâcher, la sélection est très pertinente. Impossible de ne pas trouver chaussure à son pied parmi les nombreuses références !

(Translated by Google) Here you can taste self-service wines. Professional and helpful staff. Nice location near the castle (Original) Hier kun je lekker zelf service wijnen proeven . Vakkundig en behulpzaam personeel. Mooie locatie bij het kasteel

(Translated by Google) We greatly appreciated the tasting formula and the preparation of the girl who directed us towards the best wine choices for us. Recommended experience for wine experts and others (Original) Abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la formula della degustazione e la preparazione della ragazza che ci ha indirizzato verso le scelte enologiche migliori per noi. Esperienza consigliata per gli esperti di vini e non

(Translated by Google) Great concept of fun tasting, we came last year for the tasting and we loved it, we came back this year to do it again unfortunately we were disappointed because the saleswoman was not at all pleasant. When we arrived the store was not yet open, we hurried to finish the visit in time to do the tasting but 25 minutes before closing the saleswoman did not want to sell us the tasting (I think that in 25 minutes we has plenty of time to taste 3 wines..). Too bad we would have liked to buy several bottles but so we only took one.. (Original) Super concept de dégustation ludique, nous étions venu l’année dernière pour la dégustation et nous avions adoré, nous sommes revenus cette année pour la refaire à nouveau malheureusement nous avons été déçu car la vendeuse n’était pas du tout agréable. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés le magasin n’était pas encore ouvert, nous nous sommes dépêchés de finir la visite à temps pour faire la dégustation mais 25min avant la fermeture la vendeuse n’a pas voulu nous vendre la dégustation (je pense que en 25min on a largement le temps de déguster 3 vins..). Dommage on aurait voulu acheter plusieurs bouteilles mais du coup nous en avons pris seulement une..

(Translated by Google) We were very disappointed with the welcome because no advice on how to taste the 3 glass bottoms for 4€, an unfriendly atmosphere and unfriendly staff... fortunately the guided tour and the surrounding restaurants highlighted the image of Chambord! (Original) Nous avons été très déçu de l’accueil car aucun conseil pour goûter les 3 fonds de verre pour 4€, ambiance peu conviviale et personnel peu chaleureux … heureusement que la visite guidé et les restaurants alentours ont relevés l’images de chambord !
