NOTES: This royal palace, rebuilt for Charles VII, was begun in French late Gothic Flamboyant style in 1491and involved the French builders Colin Biart, Guillaume Senault and Louis Armangeart. After 1496, Renaissance features were added by two Italian mason-builders, Domenico da Cortona and Fra Giocondo. The drum towers were completed by Francois I in 1515-1519.
