Le Château de Chambord.

We took Felix to the Loire Valley on the weekend to see some of the stunning french Chateaux dating back to the 15th Century. First stop Le Château de Chambord.



It was a pretty impressive backdrop for Felix who seemed very happy to do some smiling for the camera in the sunshine (And also to show off his new truck tee-shirt that he is quite fond of wearing).


And what better place for Felix, Daddy, Nanny and Pappy to go for a walk than the back garden of a château.


We continued up into the château to wander around the luxurious rooms, discover the infamous double helix staircase and the great views of the grounds.

Felix had a great time and it has to be said that hanging around a château is great fun for a little man (especially with Daddy around).



And it's a pretty good backdrop too.




Needless to say Felix slept well that night.

It must be so much Mummys' backdrop that she got confused between Chaumont and Chambord... Was Felix treated to a glass of Cheverny white as well ?

I did the get the chance to run around this amazing castle thougth. Felix and I just hung around on the terrace.

There is a fantastic double helix staircase that snakes its way up through the centre of the castle. Incredible feat of architecture.

Great afternoon.

For those of you 'not in the know' (like me prior to Chambord) a double helix staircase is two adjoined staircases that never meet.
