The French Renaissance came after difficult time for the French. They first wen through the black death, and then the hundred years war. After this, a new era for artisans began. Royal taste determined the styles followed by the people of this time. Large chateaus were constructed and decorated by 'decorators' a new job title that came about during the French Renaissance. It was the decorators job to coordinate a design and all the artists that were contributing to the project. They were required to know about interior design and to be able to communicate the concept of a design to a client.
Francois I was a patron of the arts during this time. He preferred a gothic style with renaissance style ornamentation. Since there was no need for churches, he instead built chateaus the first being Chateau Chambord which consists of 444 rooms, 84 stair cases, 365 chimneys spread across a 14300 acre property in Loire Valley. It is considered to be the largest and most majestic of all the chateaus and was also the meeting place of Francois and Leonardo Da Vinci.
