Relais Chambord
The hotel is in a beautifully restored period building right in front of the castle, which was King Francois I’s stable back in the 16th century. A major refurbishment by Jean-Michel Wilmotte transformed the place into a charming boutique retreat without losing its character. He’s managed to retain original details and traditional elements while keeping the overall feel sleek and modern with understated design touches here and there. On-site activities are plentiful: you can enjoy a delightful break at the spa, try your hand at tennis or billiards, pick a book from the stunning floor-to-ceiling library, and reconnect with nature and history while exploring the castle’s grounds – when all the day tourists are gone!

This grand building started life in the 16th century as a royal hunting lodge for King Francois I, who infused it with the Italian Renaissance style he
loved so much. The village is surrounded by rolling vineyards that produce excellent wine and offer a scenic backdrop to leisure activities in nature.
