Chenonceau castle

Chenonceau castle, on the Cher river. Built in 1513 by Thomas Bohier and his wife, Katherine Briçonnet. It was notably extended by Diane de Poitier who added a bridge over the Cher (left bottom part) and by Catherine de Médicis who covered it with a gallery, giving that very recognisable shape to the castle, and an access to it from both banks of the Cher.
