Very few places in the world can hold the title of 'influenced by Leonardo da Vinci himself'. And yet, that is exactly the case should you opt to visit Chateau de Chambord, a palatial sized castle in the very heart of the Loire Valley. Here's what it's like to wander around one of the largest French châteaux in France.
On a plutôt l’habitude de les voir à la belle saison, sous le soleil, lorsque les jardins sont en fleurs. Mais les châteaux du Val de Loire ne perdent rien de leur charme l’hiver venu, surtout lorsqu’un épais manteau blanc recouvre la végétation environnante. On se laisserait presque tenter par une bataille de boule de neige… royale bien sûr !

A long time ago, while staying in Paris on a work trip, I met the loveliest couple, Victor and Maria Orsenne. At the time they owned a divine little boutique hotel set right between the Eiffel Tower and the bustling food markets of Rue Cler. Well, they have just emailed me to tell me they've purchased a new property – a petit chateau in the Loire called 'Le Manoir'. The photograph of it was enough to make me want to get on a plane and go straight back to France! Here are images of the residence in summer and a winter. It was built in 1818 in the style of Louis XII. Doesn't it look beautiful in any season? It would be the perfect base for a driving tour of the Loire Valley. And as with their previous hotel, their rates are fantastically affordable – rooms start from €95. www.manoirdecontres.com/english/welcome.html
