RE: Chateau Chambord: France

in Pinmapple3 years ago

I’m truly impressed by the majestic grandeur of this palace! The architecture is a fine example of how elaborate details and the design principle of excess (for the exterior and interior spaces) has produced an extraordinary edifice. It also shows how lavish the lifestyles of the previous monarchs were (as this castle was considered as a hunting residence back then). The gigantic patterns on the exterior gardens was a sight to behold! It’s a fortunate thing you were able to experience this building before the pandemic restrictions were implemented. Thanks for the marvelous tour!

I'm glad you liked it. Yes, its quite grandiose for a hunting lodge but I dont think it was as big and extravagant when it was first built as it is now. I probably wasn't clear on that point in the article. The original castle by the first owner was probably much more medieval in design. I'm not sure on that though
