We've been to the château before, but we return with such admiration. It's a prestigious monument and the gardens with their majestic trees. And the peace and quiet.

the château, gardens and stables I didn't appreciate the works in nature, which were sometimes even rusty and of no interest whatsoever when I see that some people go to art school to produce such things, it's shameful.

Chambord: An exceptional château, and a very nice guide who challenged the simplistic view of the relais de chasse, which, when you read the facts, doesn't hold water. A great time. A must-see!

We got in without any problems by skipping the queue at the ticket office. When purchasing you have to choose a date but the validity of the tickets is longer (it is written on the confirmation email, although sometimes it doesn't match what it says on the website). We had to change our plans and use some tickets on different days and had no problems.

The thread-cutting tickets are very practical and avoid queuing, especially for CHAMBORD, where there are a lot of people waiting in front of the ticket office. For free admission for children, it's now possible to go directly to the château entrance to collect their ticket, and then pick up the histopads at the same time. Despite the crowds, traffic flows smoothly through the château (even on August 15), and it's perfectly possible to take a picnic lunch in the grounds around the château.
