Chambord: The Leonardo Da Vinci Mystery
A building lost in the midst of a 5,000-hectare (12,000-acre) park, Chambord is the castle of all superlatives. There are 156 meters (500 feet) of façade, over 400 rooms, and 77 stairways. For more than five centuries, its design has aroused curiosity. All the plans and archives relative to the building were mysteriously destroyed in a fire. Does Chambord have a secret to hide? The question is all the more relevant as at the time of the castle's conception, the greatest genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, was working for the King of France.
