Hmmm! Aren't you mixing up Chambord and Combourg? Not quite the same type of castle. Chambord is about the same kind of palace as Chenonceaux; roughly the same period. I visited both of them too.
I like the medieval type of castle where they could stand years against the agressor, cut off from the rest of the world but completely sufficient. The ways they went to make traps and defenses, all the ingenuity, now
that was building, not the matchstick things of today that blow way at the first storm!
All those castles that we mentionned except for Combourg were restored at the beginning of the last century by the same Viollet Leduc a fantastic architect. He drew furniture too that is why I remember his works. He was one of the inspirations that got me to make furniture. Gothic is the type I'd like to make. Any King (not the family name

)interested in my services?
