Unique characteristics of this Ultimate Château
The most fascinating Château in the Loire Valley, the Ultimate Château appears like a small turreted city as you approach it from the distance.
Built by the young François Ier in the middle of an estate populated by deer and wild boar, the Château was intended to be his “hunting lodge” and a demonstration of his power. Second only to Versailles for size and popularity and now a National Museum, this was the first Château of the region to be recognized as World Heritage by UNESCO.
Unique example of Renaissance architecture combining the best features of the French and Italian style of the time,
the castle features 440 rooms, 365 fireplaces, and 84 staircases.
