Domain note
Testimonies in the Tuffeau stone of Chambord
These graffiti add a historical dimension to the site, evoking tales of voyages and life on the water. They enrich Chambord's cultural heritage by revealing a lesser-known aspect of its history, blending maritime tradition with personal creativity. These marks of authenticity invite visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the sailors, while preserving the memory of their experiences. A new opportunity to show that innovation and ambition have always been part of Chambord's history.
