Chenonceau: the jewel of the Renaissance, the 'Ladies’ château', UNESCO world heritage site, which was owned successively by Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medici, Louise de Lorraine, and Louise Dupin.

In the precious garland of the Loire castles, where the art of the Renaissance found its most beautiful French expression, served by landscapes sung by all the poets, Chenonceau is probably the most admired jewel, the most appreciated. The human scale of the château's proportions, the ingenuity of its arrangements, the unique poetry of the place, a river that a castle seems to cross with great strides to pass from one bank to another... so much beauty attracts lovers from all over the world.
