10-15 min walk to chateau, €6 to park, card only, pay when you arrive to avoid long queues when you leave. No timed tickets. This castle is huge so there is no crowding. Good cafe inside one wing of …Full review by Daydream14648553170

If you are going in summer I would definitely buy tickets in advance. Less busy days are generally Monday and Tuesday - just check the opening days as some chateaus close on particular days. I would also plan my visit as early in the morning as possible as there are generally less crowds first thing in the morning. Enjoy !

Bonjour Je prévois une visite tout en déjeunant au château comme notre arrivée est prévu autours des midi je voulais savoir le temps à prévoir à l'entrée en prenant les billets sur internet. Visite prévu avec histopad Car je suppose que pour avoir accès au snack du château on doit tout d'abord passer par la billetterie. Car dans l'idée on aurait déjeuner et enchaîné sur la visite Merci

Bonjour Madame, vous avez la possibilité de déjeuner dans 3 restaurants au château de Chambord. L'un se trouve à l'intérieur du château. Je pense que même en réservant à l'avance, le temps d'attente peut être long. Sans réservation, il y avait pour moi trois quarts d'heure d'attente. Les deux autres à l'extérieur du château mais à deux minutes à pied sont moins fréquentés mais tout aussi bons. Comme c'est les vacances scolaires, je vous conseille de réserver votre table à l'avance dans l'un des 3 restaurants par téléphone ou par internet. Je vous conseillerais plutôt le téléphone plus chaleureux et tout aussi efficace. Bonnes vacances à Chambord et profitez bien de votre visite. Bien à vous. Elodie
