This week, we're in the Loire Valley, in the grounds of the region's most recognisable castles: Chambord, where construction began five centuries ago. This Renaissance masterpiece was conceived as a hunting lodge for King Francis I, who used it as a potent example of his power and prestige. Never to be completed, the edifice was altered repeatedly during its construction, then later looted and abandoned, before being restored to become the tourist magnet it is today. We tell you more.

Was there nearly 20 years ago. The most amazing building I have ever seen.
What an incredible feat. Well done to all involved in preserving this incredible piece of French history. 💖

@@princetonelliott9496 Sorry, Elliott. I don't even have IG. 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing! The wife and I visited the Palace of Versailles. Now this is on our list.
So incredibly beautiful
I visited the exterior of the chateau on a group trip. We didn’t go in because our tour guide basically told us that the inside wasn’t nearly as grand as the outside, and purchasing tour tickets wouldn’t be worth it on our tight schedule. I’m glad I’m finally seeing the inside.
Sounds like a lazy tour guide.
This is a very charming place, I hope I can return to visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
The palaces skyline is pretty amazing. Very impressive.
European culture, architecture, music and dance is second to none!
So many wonderful restorative things being done ❤️
Beauty and the Beast.
If you referring to the Disney version ... there is definitely a similarity there ... I’ve been there in person ... the main difference the castle isn’t as tall as the Disney version.
Really good report thanks France 24
This deserves more views
Wow! wonderful!
Chambord for Life!
A fairy tale castle.
The Movie Beauty and the Beast actually inspired our Château de Chambord

Is it related to Renaissance period ?
Yes. A great hunting lover, King François I (1494-1547) had Chambord built as a hunting lodge located in the heart of the Sologne, one of the largest forest estates in France. The current private estate of Chambord is the largest in Europe (50Km2). François was the most emblematic king of the Renaissance in France. He is at the origin of the development of arts and letters (letters = academic disciplines: literature, philosophy, history, linguistics, art, and culture).
soooooo- anyone else doing this for school lol?
nice Tartarian architecture
Just wondering who owns it
This castle is owned by the French State.
Anor Londo vibes
7 people live in a cardboard box watching this on a stolen cell phone in 144p......
Absolutely HORRIBLE music. Spoiled the nice video.
Beautiful chateau but not a castle
Chateau pretty much means castle in French and this chateau is bigger than most castles in the world.
wait, France really exist?
It exist and I confirm it as a French living in France ;)
@@ChachouLP That is Awesome, I am from Narnia, nice to meet you
@@fyrstikken demandez aux 90 millions de personnes qui la visite chaque année si elle existe vraiment
@@valbat627 why am I always the last to know?
@@fyrstikken if you are american it is normal
Hey are they renting out Rooms 😁😁😁😁
They barely show the inside. Thumbs down. Castle is probably great but all i know is it has a staircase
They did show enough ... the castle is mostly recognizable by the outside... the inside is actually very symmetrical and apart how the rooms decorations the rooms and the stairways make looks alike. I don’t know if has changed much ... not from the video. I visited 4 years ago ... most of the castle was empty, going through renovations... the king and the queen’s rooms plus some others room had tapestry but not a lot furniture if compared to some other famous castles ... in fact at least during my visit most of the castle flooring looked like left in cement or something similar
How come the guy responsible don't speak English? Oh, right, France...
Lol english is hard for french
No, not really. The rule of courtesy, when you are a foreign journalist in a country and are interviewing someone, is to let this person speaks his own language (especially when the interview deals with specific and technical terms). I often go to Greece, Italy, Spain or Germany, and the people interviewed there by English speaker journalists very often answered in their own language. And I guess nobody expects British/Us/Australian(etc) people to answer in Spanish, German or French if they are interviewed in their country by Spanish, French or German journalist.
Beautiful? Yes. Not near the personality of Chateaux LaLande, owner Stephanie Jarvis, France, also
Hahaha I’ve been to Chambord ... the sheer size of the castle and those numerous chimneys and turrets its breathtaking! But the beauty of this chateau lies in its exterior. It’s not as decorated as Chenanceau for exemple or this another one that Stephanie has also shown in one of her videos. By the way... I also love watching Stephanie’s channel!
Interesting design, but quite kitschy
Kitschy?
Three cheers for the looters in 1789! Such a shame that royalty of any kind persists into the 21st century. 🤮
The last Royals of France were set up by the Catholic Church, because Louis wanted to introduce equality to taxation, including Cardinals being taxed, for the first time.King Louis also encouraged the peasants to diversify in their crops. Great advice that they ignored, and went hungry as a result.
