Chambord Château

Today weem off to look at the first of the Chateaus he's got planned, but first me ablushions need doing. Aire we stopped at last night says no services, so he plans to pop up to the next aire so I can have a dump. We'll we go down through the village and gridlock. Vans and people everywhere looks like a Sunday flea market. Well I ad to do a lot of shunting to extract me self and return to the road. So what to do, I'm desperate for relief. We goes back to last night aire as herself said she saw a bloke emptying in a shed, and yes there is a water and emptying point, thank gawd for that. OK so off to Chambord the daddy of chateau apparently.

Well we drives through the wooded parkland un park up on the 100 van aire where weem stopping the night, another car park, but there's plenty of room and not crowded. Aquick cuppa before they sets off. OMG it's a big un, as they leaves the car park they gets the first view of the chateau The château features 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases. One of the highlights is the spectacular spiral staircase in the centre of the chateau, with 274 steps, her knows as hers walkedup some of um, un down all of um . The two spirals ascend three floors without ever meeting,
There's not much decoration un furniture here but it's full of rooms un stais, here's glad here dow ave tu go up un dawn um all day. Theres un art display from someone they ay hurd of, un they ent impressed. Apparently the chateau was used during the war to hold works of art in the hopes it didn't get destroyed, one of um being The Mona Lisa.

They walked all around the outside of the upstairs un the view were great, everything as far as you cud see belongs to the chateau .
