Le Château Chambord was originally designed for a get-away for Francois I to go hunting. There was a lot of land surrounding it that were his hunting grounds.
Le Château Chambord also had a lot of land around it. I assume whoever lived there was also really into hunting because the had a big kennel filled with dozens of hound dogs. The cool thing about that castle is that there are still people living in part of it. It was owned by the same family for hundreds of years, and they still own it.
There were a lot of other things to see at Le Château Chambord as well. We went for a guided boat ride they had there, which was a lot of fun.
After all of that, we took a series of bus and train rides to Paris. It's funny because as we pulled into Paris I saw a tall structure, and to tease everyone I told them it was the Eiffel tower; then the buildings cleared away and it turned out it really was the Eiffel Tower.
We just got in a little while ago, so we haven't had time to look around. I'm sure I'll have more to say about Paris tomorrow though.
