Chambord témoigne des deux passions d'un tout jeune roi, François Ier : la chasse et l'architecture. Cet ouvrage, tout en retraçant les grandes étapes de la construction et de l'aménagement du château, est un véritable guide qui accompagne le visiteur pas à pas dans sa visite. De nombreux plans et illustrations en couleurs permettent de se repérer et de comprendre les clés de cette vaste construction, compromis savant entre le château fort français traditionnel et les principes novateurs élaborés par les architectes de la Renaissance italienne et que les rois de France venaient de découvrir au cours des récentes guerres d'Italie. Mais Chambord n'est pas qu'un château : l'immense domaine de plus de 5 000 hectares et délimité par un mur de 32 kilomètres abrite de nombreuses espèces qui en font l'une des plus prestigieuses réserves nationales de chasse et de faune sauvage. Ce guide permet aussi d'en découvrir tous les aspects.
