The Château de Chenonceau is often described as the most charming of the Loire Valley castles, with its gallery overhanging the river Cher and its wondrous gardens. Once a feudal fortress that was torn down, the actual castle was built from 1513. This fairytale place has a remarkable history, linked with multiple amazing women. Hence its nickname, the Ladies' castle. Katherine Briçonnet, Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medicis, Louise de Savoie, Louise Dupin, Simone Meunier. . . Some of them were queens, some of them were philosophers or nurses. Chenonceau is the perfect place to discover French history through the lives of all these personalities! The tour is not just about the castle itself. We will explore the building but we will also enjoy a quiet view on the Cher river and a stroll in the formal gardens, discover a charming old 16th century farm and the incredible flower and vegetable garden. Chenonceau is a little world that is really worth discovering at your own pace!
