Overview of your Chenonceaux tour:

Gain an insight into the lives of the succession of extraordinary women, all attached Chenonceau, but completely different in personality. I find much to admire in all of them, and they were certainly survivors in times often full of intrigue and danger. I will love revealing their secrets to you -from what products they used in their hair, to how they contrived to have men executed. I will delve into the details about how these women created a space for themselves and manipulated their own images to suit their aims in what seems a very modern way. I'll also talk about what it has been like to be a woman in France over the centuries.

Your Chenonceaux tour itinerary

*meet at the big entry gates on the driveway of the Chateau of Chenonceau, near the visitor centre. *go out onto the terrace where I will show you how each of them developed the chateau. *go inside the chateau where we will see Catherine de Medici's private office, and other rooms on the ground floor where I will talk about various objects in the collection that bring their stories to life. *after that we will go upstairs to the museum gallery and bedrooms. *when the tour is over you will have the opportunity to visit the chateau independently -- there is a lot to see!
