Entry was quick and efficient. The histopad was such a great way to enhance the visit and learn loads of history in a fun, interesting way. Chateau de Chambord is an architectural feast on the eyes and the very unusual double helix staircase was something special. I loved it.

Chambord Castle is a work of art in itself because of its architecture. The visit is made easy thanks to a clear, spacious tour route. Plus, thanks to the RV parking, we were able to take our time and admire the castle illuminated at night.

Loved the chateau and all the rooms. It was great to see displays in so many rooms which helped make it come alive. It would have been fun to see some mention of the Chambord liquor made in the town of Chambord somewhere near the exit of the chateau

Plus, it's hard to get around when several groups of 30 people arrive at the same time! There should be specific time slots for groups for better organization. Too bad, because this castle is interesting and the g

Booking was very easy. That way, we were able to get inside quickly, without any waiting time. A remarkable castle with lots of rooms to see, all beautifully decorated as well—a truly wonderful experience.
