Château de Chaumont-la-Guiche, Classical château in Saint-Bonnet-de-Joux, France.

The castle features three levels of stables measuring 60 meters by 15 meters, with monumental staircases and ornate stone facades dating from the 17th century.

Built between 1648 and 1652 under the direction of Henriette de La Guiche, the château served as a residence for her husband Louis Emmanuel de Valois.

The architectural design by François Blondel incorporated Italian influences, particularly in the stable interiors which reflect concepts from Leonardo da Vinci's engineering works.

Visitors can explore the château grounds through guided tours from July to September and stay overnight in the on-site cottage accommodation.

The stables could house 99 horses across multiple levels, making them among the largest private equestrian facilities from the Ancien Régime period in France.
