Charming Castles and Manors

This collection features a diverse array of architectural heritage in the Loir-et-Cher region, surrounding the grand estate of Chambord. It spans from 15th-century medieval foundations and Renaissance country houses to 19th-century residential chateaux. Highlights include the moated towers of Avaray, the 16th-century symmetry of Villesavin—often called the construction site of Chambord—and various private manors that illustrate the evolution of French noble architecture across five centuries.
