"In 1519, the French king, Francois I, wanted to build a hunting lodge, but it had to reflect up-to-date taste and regal power...The impressive round towers differ extensively from each other, and terminate in a fantastic array of turrets, dormers and chimneys, liberally adorned with Classsical motifs in un-Classical profusion. Thus medieval castle and renaissance style combine to provide the setting for both the royal hunt and extravagant entertainment."
