🇲🇫 Touring the castles along the Loire River in France 1. Château de Chaumont🏰
Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire
💶 Admission: Approximately 18 euros for the castle and gardens
(Garden-only viewing is also available, but may vary depending on the season)
💡 Travel Tips
I recommend visiting between April and October. This is the time of the annual International Garden Festival, and locals say it's incredibly beautiful. I went during the off-season and didn't get to see the festival 🤣
Compared to the famous castles along the Loire River (Chénonceau, Chambord, etc.), it's relatively less crowded, allowing for a more leisurely experience.
To see both the castle and gardens, it's recommended to allocate at least two hours.
The gardens are spacious and perfect for a picnic, so take your time!
❗️Warning
Accessibility is a bit tricky without a rental car. I got off the train and walked, but the uphill climb was a bit challenging.
If you want to enjoy not just the beautiful castle, but also the art and gardens, I highly recommend Château de Chaumont.

Super reco
Super recommended! Chaumont Manor-sur-Loire
In our castle self-driving route, my favorite is Chaumont Manor. It is not only the most prestigious of the Loire Valley castles, but also surrounded by a beautiful park, an art exhibition that combines human and nature. The International Garden Festival is being held, making it the best place to enjoy spectacular panoramic views.

The Chaumo
The Chaumont Castle in the Loire Valley in France can be spent all day, and the birth of the English-style natural garden is attributed to the whimsy of the Duke of Broy and the perfect design of the garden architect Henri Duchene. The park now covers an area of 21 hectares, just a part of the 2,500-hectare leisure park that year. In addition to the castle's display of the palace life, the Chaumont International Garden Art Festival and the Chaumont Art Festival on the Loire can be enjoyed, and the outstanding landscape design and the artist's excellent inspiration can open your eyes.

The birth
The birth of the leisure park was attributed to the whimsy of the Duke of Broy and the perfect design of the garden architect Henry Dusley, which was officially started in 1884. In design, the park is dominated by British natural style, with slightly undulating guards, single wood fire forests and some artificial scenes: waterside castles, pristine bridges and animal cemeteries. The Duchess of Broy, who loves animals, wants his pet to be buried near the castle after his death. She chose to build the Egge cemetery at the site of the village's cemetery. There are more than 20 tombs in the animal cemetery. The epitaphs in front of each tomb are also clearly visible. The Duke of Kodesh Broy serves the poems of the mourning for the pets who have been sleeping here.

The Chaumo
The Chaumont-sur-Loire castle was built in the 10th century, when Earl of Blois built a fortress to defend his territory from being harassed and reinforce it into a castle. His son inherited the territory, because there were no children, so he chose the niece Denis de Fouer to inherit the family business, and Denis married Shurpis I de Amboise in 1054. Since then, the castle has been owned by the Amboise family for five centuries. It is beautiful like a fairy tale.

Chaumont C
Chaumont Castle is not only the most classic European castle with its charming architecture and magnificent appearance, but also famous for its 19th International Garden. The 19th International Garden Art Festival in 2010 is being held. It will not end until October 17. It is also a gathering place for artists and artists of the festival. You can spend a whole day, wide your eyes and watch a variety of attractions decorated by "landscape artists" from around the world. Take a stroll along the Loire River from the castle and taste the prestigious Duran wines in the vineyards.

Chaumont Castle was built in the 10th century, when the Earl of Blois built the defensive castle. In 1054, the castle's hostess married the Sulpice 1er d'Amboise, and the castle of the next five centuries belonged to the Amboise family. The picturesque Chaumont Castle is one of the top ten classic walks in the world, situated on the beautiful Loire River in western France.
