When to go to Chambord?
Deep forest surrounds the château, which announces itself with a roofline of turrets, chimneys and lanterns resembling a small town in the air. Inside, the double-helix staircase lets two people climb without ever meeting. The estate around it is walked and ridden past deer and quiet ponds, while Cheverny and Beauregard carry the Loire circuit onwards.
