CHAMBORD CHATLE - Chateau de Chambord is the largest of the Loire Chateau, despite apparently being built as a hunting lodge. The Royal Château at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France is one of the most recognisable châteaux in the world because of its very distinct French Renaissance architecture that blends traditional medieval forms with classical Italian structures. Leonardo da Vinci, a guest of King François at Clos Lucé near Amboise, is believed to have been involved in the original design.
