FRANCE - LOIRE VALLEY - LOIR ET CHER (41) - CASTLE OF CHAMBORD : : ROYAL ORATORY. THIS VAULTED ROOM, WHERE ONLY THE ICONIC DECOR OF FRANCOIS 1ER IS NEEDED, IS ABUNDANTLY LIT. WITHOUT A CHIMNEY, IT IS RESERVED FOR THE PRIVATE MEDITATION OF THE SOVEREIGN AND IS INITIALLY ACCESSIBLE BY A SINGLE DOOR, OPENED ON THE GALLERY. ADDED BY FRANCOIS 1ST AFTER THE FINALIZATION OF THE INITIAL PLAN, THE ORATORY CREATES THE ONLY DYSSYMMETRY ON THE LARGE FACADE OF THE CASTLE, SINCE THERE IS NO SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION ON THE SIDE OF THE WING OF THE CHAPEL (WEST WING).
