A photo of Chambord, taken on a warm and beautiful morning back in august 2010.
The palace of Chambord is situated a few kilometers from Blois in Sologne, 177 kilometers south of Paris. An example of the early French Renaissance, the palace of Francis 1 is an essential stop on the circuit of the castles of the Loire valley.
If the influence of Leonardo da Vinci, friend of the king and official ‘’architect’’ (who died a few months before construction began), hangs over the spectacular staircase of double symmetrical flights, the author of this strange residence –both astonishing and uninhabitable – is still not known. The plan of the building is that of a fortress on flat country. It includes a vast rectangular enclosing wall, with round towers at the corners and a much larger tower rising from one side. This is of truly colossal proportions and by itself makes up almost all of the castle. Inside, though, a surprising arrangement of standardized apartments belies a skilful knowledge of avant-garde architecture. 1
