Château de Chenonceau
Château de Chenonceau was built in 1515-1521. It was built across the Cher River, east of Tours. It fell into the hands of the French crown. King Henri II gave it to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. After Henra's death in 1959, his widow, Catherine de Medici, took the chateau. Each of these ladies created a large garden, which still has her name.
