Chateau de Chambord

On this day excursion by bus from Paris to the Loire Valley, see famous castles, and take a self-guided tour of Château de Chambord. Go to Château de Chambord from Paris. The towers on this castle will look recognisable to Disney aficionados because they served as the model for the castle in "Beauty and the Beast." Although it was once intended to be a royal hunting lodge, the magnitude of the construction is unreal. Before going inside the castle, ask your tour guide all about its fascinating past. Then, you can take a self-guided tour and explore the inside at your own time. Experience breathtaking rooftop views framed by turrets, climb a staircase allegedly created by Da Vinci, and spot wild deer roaming the grounds.
