 .And those kings were like crazy. It took 1800 people and some decades to build Chambord (around 1519-1547) and François 1er lived in it only 7 weeks! It was only to impress his rival, Charles Quint! And if you ever think that its front looks a bit "poor"  , check out an aerial view from the rear then  Chambord at Wiki

Chambord is great, it is so large that they have little fire places where the servants could rewarm the food because it was so far from the kitchens to the living quarters of the royalty. And technically these are Château's when castle design evolved from merely a military fortress into the lavish residents of the Royalty and upper classes. And on a side note sometimes Versailles make me wish France had reinstated a constitutional monarchy during the Restauration so that you could still see the great ceremonies that they had there, but knowing that it wouldn't be as accessible to the public if it was still used by a monarch quickly dismisses those thoughts.
