Afterward, there is time to see the Domaine National de Chambord, including the famous double helix staircase attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and to walk around the castle grounds. Next, the tour continues to Château de Chenonceau, known as the ‘ladies’ castle’ because of the influential women who lived there.
