Château de Chambord – Loire Valley, France

#springitinerary Spring brought Chambord’s magic to life. The château rose like a Renaissance dream from green meadows sprinkled with daisies. I strolled the grounds while birds flitted between freshly leafing trees. Inside, spiral staircases and grand halls echoed with history. Outside, the air was cool and floral, perfect for a long walk or a riverside picnic. #springitinerary tip: rent a bike or rowboat to explore the estate’s natural side. The Loire Valley is awakening this time of year, and Chambord stands as its proud jewel — a place where nature and architecture harmonize beautifully in spring.
