The works took place between 1513 and 1521, and gave birth to a castle inspired by the Italian Rennaissance, where nevertheless Gothic elements persist.<br\/>The bridge and galleries over the bridge were added by Diane de Poitiers and then Catherine de M\u00e9dicis.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Chateaux-de-la-Loire\/Chateau-de-Chenonceau\/i-WtZcDsR\/0\/9ef72392\/L\/chateauchenonceau-fac%CC%A7ade-1-2-L.jpg\" alt=\"Castle facade\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Before entering the castle, admire its fa\u00e7ade. Here, you can make out the structure of the ch\u00e2teau: a Renaissance main building, flanked by two corner turrets resting on the foundations of the former medieval mill.<\/p>\n\n<p>But it's the castle's location on the River Cher that makes it particularly famous. The views from the garden and from inside the ch\u00e2teaux blend nature and architecture in a magical way!<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/en\/activites-attractions-chenonceaux-c262292\/billets-pour-chateau-de-chenonceau-p977880?partner=region_lovers&amp;tq_campaign=LL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Book your ticket to Chenonceau<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architecture of Chambord<\/h3>\n\n<p>We were stunned by the castle's impressive proportions.

It offers a skilful blend of Renaissance style and medieval heritage. Although the name of the architect who built the building is not known due to the lack of archives, it is known that he was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci.<\/p>\n\n<p>The first Italian-inspired feature is the central Greek cross plan of the castle's central section: the keep.<br\/>We spent a long time admiring the castle's facades, which are influenced by monuments from Roman antiquity, such as the Colosseum, or Italian buildings from the Quattrocento (<sup>15th<\/sup> century Italy).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Chateaux-de-la-Loire\/Chateau-Chambord\/i-bgnJPW3\/1\/dc99ec62\/L\/chateau-chambord-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Chambord terrace\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>It's on the terraces that you'll see the greatest concentration of ornamentation in the castle. Here, the blend of Renaissance sculptural decoration and Gothic verticality works wonders! At the center of the terraces, we admired the lantern tower, which, at 56 meters high, is the highest point of the castle.<\/p>\n\n<p><a

They stretch around a circular basin.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The Green Garden<\/strong><br\/>Next to the Catherine de Medici garden, you will find a 19th century English park.
