Chambord The King's Hunting Lodge Located in the Loire Valley in France, this chateau boast over 440 rooms (not all of which are accessable to the public), 365 fireplaces, adn 84 staircases.  It has been under renovation for the past several years when we have visited.  This year they had a new video feature which showed the symmetrical layout and "modular" construction of the chateau. Most of these photos are from our March 2007 trip, taken by Leah, Betty, Chris and Myryha.

As members of the Scarborough Royal Guard, we though it would be fun to wear our Green Sashes on the parapets of Chambord.  Grammie, Myryha and Chris post up on the 5th level (Almost as high as you can go!)  Photo March 2007
