Château de Chambord The largest and most extravagant of the Loire châteaux, the Château de Chambord is surrounded by an equally vast park, itself enclosed by a 32 km wall. Left empty after the Revolution, the Château’s 440 rooms now house a fine collection of furniture and works of art, and a hunting and nature exhibition.
