Chateau of Chambord
Uploaded: October 02, 2013 04:59:02
France's young King Francis I was 25 years old in 1519 when he initiated the huge enterprise of building the Chateau of Chambord. It was intended as a hunting lodge but its architecture makes it an extravagant chateau since it has 77 staircases, 282 fireplaces and 426 rooms. Francis I reigned for 32 years, yet he only spent 72 days at Chambord. He never saw his project completed for on his death in 1547 only the keep and the royal wing had been finished -- some 30 years after construction had begun. The walled grounds are larger than the periphery of Paris, and the estate is the largest enclosed forest park in Europe. It's also a national game reserve containing many types of animals living completely wild -- including wild boar and deer.
