Things to do in Chambord

The Loire Valley Castles offer an enchanting journey through France’s royal past, where elegance, grandeur, and natural beauty come together effortlessly. Each château has its own personality—some boast lavish Renaissance architecture, while others feel like fairytale fortresses surrounded by peaceful moats and manicured gardens. The region’s rolling vineyards, riverside landscapes, and charming villages create the perfect backdrop for exploring these historic gems. Whether you’re wandering through the ornate halls of Chambord, admiring Chenonceau’s iconic arches over the river, or enjoying the serene parks around smaller estates, the experience feels timeless and inspiring. The Loire Valley Castles are a must-visit for culture, history, and photography lovers.

Beautiful and peaceful château. Clean and comfortable room, lovely surroundings, and very welcoming hosts. Highly recommended.

Cheverny Castle is the most gorgeous castle in the Loire Valley in terms of furniture and decorative arts. The caissons, tapestries and paintings by masters are all well preserved and very exquisite. The castle is still privately owned, and you can see that the owner has put a lot of thought into the decoration.

This castle is not only beautiful during the day, but you can't miss its light show at night. It is colorful and super beautiful, and there are a lot of people coming to see it. I suggest not to use your mobile phone to take pictures because you can't capture the effect with your mobile phone.

The Palace of Versailles was an incredible experience and definitely a highlight of my trip to France. The palace itself is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning architecture, beautiful rooms, and so much history around every corner.The ticketing process was simple, and the ticket was easy to use for entry into all the main areas of the palace. We were able to explore comfortably without any problems.The only downside was that some parts of the gardens were under construction during our visit, so we couldn’t fully experience the gardens at their best. However, this did not take away from the overall experience. Versailles is still a must-see destination and a place I would highly recommend visiting.

It was a great summit experience, and the accompanying Seine River cruise was also excellent. Our guide was Korean and spoke both English and French, so I had no problem communicating with her in French. There was also a very friendly elderly Australian couple in our group; they even gave me a small souvenir before I left.

Teacher Ju Zi's explanation of Notre Dame Cathedral was fantastic! Professional and engaging, she clearly and movingly explained the architectural history and the "Chinese people in Notre Dame," packed with valuable information throughout. I learned a lot and highly recommend it!

a must see in paris. even if not serious art lovers, you will feel the joy of arts. lucky to see the mary cassett exhibition too.
