Chambord is the largest and most prestigious of the French Renaissance châteaux. It is located between the untamed royal river and the wild woodlands, which is home to many boar and deer.

Phenomenal castle which the king François I started it's construction. A truly magnificent castle to visit with so much history.

This is the largest chateau in the Loire Valley, and Martin’s favourite. This castle is so spectacular that we had to include it even though it is 180km from Bumblebee Manor. Perhaps stop in on the way to or from the manor, or prepare to leave early and expect to be home late.

Amazing chateau with stunning gardens. Many eateries are available serving excellent food in the most stunning surroundings. We had a very brief visit on the way from our second home to Calais. Could easily spend a day or even two here as there is so much to see and do. Walks, cycle rides, horse and bird of prey displays, vineyard to name but a few. Will definitely return with the children and stay nearby in our camper van so that we really can take in this wonderful place and all it has to offer.
