On Sunday, June 22, 2025, the Château de Chambord will resonate with the sounds of pop music! Following Sting in 2022, Imagine Dragons in 2023, and David Guetta in 2024, Chambord Live announces its fourth edition featuring the iconic group Black Eyed Peas.

The 11th edition of ‘Christmas in Chambord’ is here! From Saturday 30 November, the Domaine national de Chambord will be celebrating the magic of Christmas and French know-how with a magical display of decorations.

To make sure the magic of Christmas is complete, Chambord is organising shows and events for all ages, giving visitors the chance to discover or rediscover this emblem of France’s architectural heritage, known and recognised the world over. From 30 November 2024 to 5 January 2025, Chambord invites families to marvel at this enchanting setting, with its traditional decorations, contemporary inspirations, costumed events and shows.

An unexpected treasure in the church of Saint Félix, at Champigny-en-Beauce, north of Blois, the Virgin Mary, Infant Christ, and the young St. John the Baptist, long thought of as a 19th century copy, has recently been authenticated as an original 16th century piece from the studio of Italian painter Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510).

The painting is on loan to Chambord for two years, and will be displayed in the chapel at the château until 19 January 2025 alongside its model made a few years before by Botticelli himself. This painting, housed in the Palatine Gallery at the Pitti Palace in Florence, has exceptionally been loaned by the Uffizi Galleries.

Launched in 2021 and completed in June 2023, the restoration of the Château’s six roof lanterns, supervised by François Chatillon, Chief Architect of Historic Monuments since 2004, was carried out as part of a single project. Aside from occasional repairs, no restoration work had been performed on the lanterns for more than 50 years.
