Château, park and stables
The ultimate combo! 🤩
The Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire has nailed the perfect trio: château, park and stables. Here, they don’t do things halfway, it’s way more than just a castle visit. Let’s take a closer look at the must-see areas of Chaumont-sur-Loire 👇🏼
The château or should we say, the fortress! More on that in the next paragraph😉 The park, like an open-air museum, is where is celebrated each year the International Garden Festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire.
The stables, where the saddlery houses exquisite harness crafted by the famous luxury brand Hermès, were built in 1877 by the architect of the Prince and Princess of Broglie!
Good to know
You’ll be the ultimate château expert in your group of friends with these 3 fun facts 👀
The fortress belonged to the Amboise family for centuries. It’s the 4th most visited château in the Loire Valley, and once you step through its grand doors, you’ll understand why. Want to become the King of the châteaux de la Loire? Here are 3 facts to impress your friends during the visit 👇🏼
- The fortress of Chaumont-sur-Loire was originally built on the orders of Eudes I, Count of Blois, to guard the frontiers between the counties of Blois and Anjou. The Amboise family became owners in 1054!
- Catherine de Médicis, the queen of the swap? In 1550, Catherine de Médicis bought the château from the Amboise family… only to part with it nine years later! Indeed, Catherine de Médicis gifted the château to Diane de Poitiers. But do you know what she asked for in return? The Château de Chenonceau! Now that’s what we call a royal exchange!
- A tough punishment: In 1495, Pierre I d’Amboise joined the War of the Public Wheal. This move displeased the King Louis XI who, as a punishment, ordered Chaumont-sur-Loire to be set on fire! The château was burned down the same year.
