The most famous châteaux in the Loire

Chambord

Le château de Chambord

Our Siblu campsite in the Loire is located near a very famous castle (if not the most famous): the castle of Chambord. If you want to visit it, plan the day and comfortable walking shoes, because it is one of the largest castles and has 426 rooms! What not to miss? Its spiral staircase and superb terraces.

Blois

The royal château of Blois

This stunning castle is characterized by its 4 facades, each dating from a different era. During your visit, you will be able to discover the Salle des Etats Généraux (the oldest seigniorial hall in France) and the three wings: the Louis XII wing, the François 1st wing and the Gaston d'Orléans wing.

Cheverny

Cheverny château

Our campsite is near another famous Loire castle: the Château de Cheverny. This beautiful property inspired the sketches of the Château de Moulinsart in Tintin. Take a walk in the open air in its 20-hectare park and discover the apartments of the castle.

Chenonceau

Chenonceau château

Perhaps one of the most visibly recognisable castles in the Loire is the Château de Chenonceau.  You cannot stay at Domaine de Dugny without visiting this Renaissance-style monument, and you can visit inside and outside in the grounds.
