Chateau CHENONCEAU -- Tour the Ultimate FAIRYTALE CASTLE -- Loire Valley, France

The Château de Chenonceau -"The Ladies' Chateau"- is a remarkable French château spanning the river Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux, Indre-et-Loire, Centre-Val de Loire. It is one of the best-known châteaux of the Loire Valley, and the second most visited castle in France after Versailles.

An architectural mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance, the Castle of Chenonceau and its gardens are a wonder to behold. Other than the Royal Palace of Versailles, it is the most visited château in France.

The castle was the royal residence of several queens, including Catherine de Medici and Louise de Lorraine, plus the royal mistress Diane de Poitiers. Its Renaissance interiors rival its extraordinary facade and gardens.
