Come and discover the history of the Château de Chambord with me. You'll learn all about the characters who made this place in a fun and interactive guided tour.

Highlights

  • Be dazzled by the architecture of the second most visited castle in France.
  • Join a guided tour where we talk about history in a fun way.
  • Be amazed by Chambord's magnificent double-helix staircase.

Description

Discover or rediscover one of the most prestigious castles in Europe with a fun tour to understand everything about the history of this unique heritage, whether you're 7 or 97! I'll tell you the story of Francis I and his crazy project to build a castle that would become the 'Jewel of the French Renaissance.' Heads up: this tour is interactive, and you'll need to join in by answering my questions or even trying to imagine yourself as a French courtier on the famous double-revolution staircase. I'll meet you in front of the castle entrance for a guided tour of an hour and a half, which will end on the terraces of the Château de Chambord. A few tips for your visit: Dress warmly because there are drafts, and be ready to climb the stairs because there is no elevator.

Includes

Entry ticket to the Château de Chambord. A 90-minute guided tour with a local guide in the Château de Chambord. Microphone and headphones to better hear the guide.

Important Information

  • This tour involves walking and standing for 1.5 hours, as well as climbing the castle steps. So, I advise you to wear suitable shoes. It can get cold in the castle because it's constantly open to the outside, so remember to wear warm clothes, especially in winter. Strollers are allowed on the ground floor, but you'll need to leave them downstairs for the upstairs tour.
