Château de Chambord

A majestic aerial view of Château de Chambord at golden hour, its iconic French Renaissance architecture bathed in warm sunlight. The château's intricate roofline of chimneys, towers, and lanterns creates a striking silhouette against a pastel sky. Elaborate stonework and ornate windows adorn the pale limestone façade, casting long shadows across the expansive lawns. The surrounding formal French gardens and lush forests frame the château, their geometric patterns visible from above. A gentle mist rises from the nearby Loire River, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The château's double helix staircase is hinted at through large windows, its ingenious design a testament to Leonardo da Vinci's influence. In the foreground, a small herd of deer graze peacefully, emphasizing the estate's hunting lodge origins.
