The castle is a mix of architectural styles, built as it was at the end of the gothic period and the start of the renaissance, which together create a very fine castle and among the most visited monuments in France.
Was built in 1513 by Katherine Briçonnet, and successively embellished by Diane de Poitiers then Catherine de Medici. Chenonceau was protected from the hardship of the revolution by Madame Dupin.
The Château de Chenonceau spans the River Cher in the Loire Valley in France.

Chenonceau, France
The Château de Chenonceau is a French château spanning the River Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France. It is one of the best-known châteaux of the Loire valley.
It is also known as The ladies’ château. The six women of Chenonceau included: Catherine Briconnet, Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de' Medici, Louise de Lorraine, Madame Dupin and Madame Pelouze.
The estate of Chenonceau is first mentioned in writing in the 11th century. The current château was built in 1514–1522 on the foundations of an old mill and was later extended to span the river. The bridge over the river was built (1556-1559) to designs by the French Renaissance architect Philibert de l'Orme, and the gallery on the bridge, built from 1570–1576 to designs by Jean Bullant.
An architectural mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance, Château de Chenonceau and its gardens are open to the public. Other than the Royal Palace of Versailles, it is the most visited château in France.

Chenonceau Castle, one well known of the Chateaux of the Loire Valley in France.
Between my Le Mans museum visit on Friday and the Paris Airshow on Sunday, I had some time to spare on Saturday.
There was this castle that I had on my list for a while and it was only 1.5 hours away from Le Mans. That was my Saturday destination: Château de Chenonceau.
How was it? It was not super spectacular. Much smaller than I imagined. Weather was great and it wasn't crowded early morning. Entrance was €15, parking was free. It was fine.
France
The Château de Chenonceau is a French château near the small village of Chenonceaux, in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France.
The château was built on the site of an old mill on the River Cher, sometime before its first mention in writing in the 11th century. It was designed by the French Renaissance architect Philibert de l'Orme.
Das Hauptgebäude des Schlosses ist ringsum vom Wasser des Loire-Nebenflusses Cher umgeben, über den sich quer eine mehrbogige Brücke mit dreistöckiger Galerie als Aufbau spannt. Diese wurde von Katharina von Medici nach dem Tod ihres Mannes Heinrich II. errichten.

Den Namen Damenschloss erhielt Chenonceau, da es über die Jahre hinweg ausschließlich von Damen bewohnt wurde. Nach Diana von Poitiers zogen ihre Schwiegertochter Louise de Lorraine und die Witwe Heinrich des III. ein. Gefolgt von Gabrielle d'Estrées und der Mätresse Heinrich des IV., Madame Dupin, die den jungen Jean-Jacques Rousseau beherbergte. Auch Madame Pelouze, die vor einem Jahrhundert das Schloss von Chenonceau auf beachtenswerte Weise restaurieren ließ, richtete hier ihr Lager ein.

This is my entry into the Architecture category of Marchitecture. It was a very fun challenge to work in the Architecture scale, and see how much of the real building’s detail I could capture. Due to the small scale, it was easy to make revisions, a good thing as it took quite a few experiments to get each area of the Chateau to look how I wanted.
