The Château de Chambord in Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, is one of the most recognisable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures.

Erected in the 11th and 12th centuries on the site of a chapel dedicated to Saint John, the collegiate church is a marvel of architecture classified as historical monuments. The apse, the sanctuary, the transept and the central bell tower are Romanesque, and its nave, 16m high, is supported by eight columns with sculpted capitals. The walls of the crypt reveal paintings dating from the tenth century. In the streets of Saint-Aignan, delightful buildings awaken admiration, including a Gothic house of the 14th century, La Prévôté, in which art exhibitions and Hôtel-Dieu are held from May to September, attributed to the architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart. More recently, the Villa Rose, built at the beginning of the 20th century, is covered with a recently restored graffiti fresco.

Neighborhoods

One of the region’s biggest markets, Amboise’s Sunday market boats around 250 stalls selling everything you can think of; from your standard French market fare to the bizarre (think lawnmowers, sinks and, on occasion, even beds). Situated along the banks of the River Loire it is a true destination market, with many people making a day-trip of it as it’s only a short walk from the château. Arrive early to secure a parking space, as by mid-morning they’ll all be snapped up. There is also a smaller Friday market for those seeking a less intense experience. https://www.experienceloire.com/amboise-market.htm
