Leave Orléans behind for a morning at the Loire Valley's most extraordinary château, where Renaissance ambition meets the vision of Leonardo da Vinci. Chambord's 426 rooms unfold around a double helix staircase — an engineering marvel that lets two people climb simultaneously without ever meeting — while the rooftop terraces reveal a skyline of ornamental chimneys, turrets, and 5,440 hectares of forested parkland stretching to the horizon. After the interiors, the restored 18th-century French formal gardens offer a quieter counterpoint to the grandeur inside. The château is closed on certain Mondays from January through March, and booking tickets online in advance is recommended to skip queues.
