Graduate students are invited to visit the majestic Ch芒teau de Chambord located in the heart of the stunning Loire Valley. A symbol of renaissance grandeau, the ch芒teau was constructed in the 16th Century under the French King Fran莽ois I and features the double helix staircase inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. The King flaunted the remarkable architectural achievement as a symbol of of power to many fellow sovereigns and ambassadors. The surrounding gardens were later added in the 17th Century by the Sun King, Louis XIV.
To keep costs to a minimum, lunch is not included in this event. Graduates are welcome to bring their own lunch to enjoy in the ch芒teau jardins, or visit the Caf茅 d鈥橭rl茅ans restaurant on site.
In the afternoon, students will enjoy a wine d茅gustation (tasting) at the nearby organic vineyard, Terra Laura Domaine de Montcy before heading back by to Paris.
The morning meeting point and the return point is 31 Avenue Bosquet, 75007, Paris. We will be travelling by bus.
Please arrive at 7:50 am for a prompt departure.
The trip is open to all current graduate students at a subsidized cost of 40鈧 per head by the Graduate Student Council.
If there are seats available at the end of the sign up period, students may email to request to invite partners.
