Synopsis
In 1516, François I, King of France since 1515, crowned by his victory at Marignan, decided to build a palace to his glory on the edge of the game-rich forest of Chambord.
Far from being a residential palace or hunting lodge, the château embodies a true utopia: that of a brilliant work of art that has yet to reveal all its secrets.
Chambord is one of the most astonishing constructions of the Renaissance.
