This is Francois I winter hunting palace, Chambord. As you can see from the size of people walking up to it, this place is *big*!
There is a terrace on the top floor that allows you to circle around the dozens and dozens of fireplace chimneys, it is meant to be a viewing platform for watching the hunt. The forest that surrounds it is roughly the size of central Paris. Inside there is
a huge double helix staircase at the center, and oversized 'designed to intimidate you' rooms. Francois I built it, but only spent 29 nights in it.
