Chateau de Chambord
The second most visited Castle in France (after Versailles), is a masterpiece of the French Renaissance. Chateau de Chambord has 440 rooms, 365 fireplaces and 84 stairs. Construction of the castle began in 1519 by King François I so that he could hunt in the nearby forests. The cold and bulky rooms of the Château make it unpopular as a real residence and François I herself has been here for less than 40 days.
