Dressing Up Loire Valley’s Château de Chambord
by Barb on July 25, 2009
The first thing I did when I came back from my weekend in the Loire Valley was to catch up on So You Think You Can Dance; I absolutely loved the Ramalama Bang Bang encore, it delighted me like no tomorrow. After that, I considered sifting through my pictures. I had the chance to visit Château de Chambord, which was constructed by François I and is known as the largest castle in the Loire Valley.
In anticipation of the premiere of Verdi’s Rigoletto in September, Château de Chambord has set up an exhibition from 29th of April until 11th of October presenting costumes of other well-known operas and plays. Dubbed as “Alain Germain dresses the Chambord’s opera,” costumes from renowned couturiers, such as Franck Sorbier, Nathalie Germain, Pascal Bordet, and Olivier Bériot, are displayed within the castle. Absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks. I was there at Chambord and took lots of photos, but forgot to label them. With your entry I was able to identify several of my photos. I like to label them for my photo album so that when family and friends see them, they know what they’re looking at. You’re right, they were absolutely beautiful. The whole place was stunning.
