Chenonceau Castle: on the River Cher is one of the Loire Valley’s smaller chateaux, known as the ‘Chateau des Dames’ (Ladies’ Castle). It owes it’s charm to the 6 women (Katherine Briçonnet in 1513 to Catherine de Medici, Diane de Poitiers, Louise de Lorraine, Louise Dupin & Madame Pelouze) who designed & transformed it into the elegant & romantic chateau it is today.

Chambord Renaissance style castle is the biggest of the Loire Valley. Beautifully located in Europ’es largest enclosed woodland park, Chambord chateau is a must-see!
