This is the Chateau de Chambord,
A masterpiece of Renaissance decor,
A hunting lodge was Francois I’s desire,
But it is now the largest castle in the Loire.
Its construction took twenty years,
Oodles of money, blood, sweat and tears.
It contains 440 rooms,
With numerous artistic and stunning heirlooms.
It has a double spiral staircase at its core,
So you can avoid seeing those you simply abhor.
Ironically, despite all this savour faire,
Francois declared it “too windy” and spent only 42 days there!
