Lors de la seconde guerre mondiale, la grande galerie de Chenonceau devient le seul accès vers la zone libre, la famille Menier facilite alors le passage clandestin de tous ceux qui fuient la tyrannie nazie.
Tout jardin est, d'abord l'apprentissage du temps, du temps qu'il fait, la pluie, le vent, le soleil, et le temps qui passe, le cycle des saisons.

The Château de Chenonceau is a French château spanning the River Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux in the Loire Valley in France. It is one of the best-known châteaux of the Loire valley.
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.
The château has been classified as a Monument historique since 1840 by the French Ministry of Culture. Today, Chenonceau is a major tourist attraction and in 2007 received around 800,000 visitors.

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.

Météore et Voie lactée au dessus du château de Chenonceau ! 🌌☄️
.
Cette photographie a été réalisée vendredi 16/07.
Un météore vert est passé au dessus du château à 3h05.. et coup de bol, il est passé dans mon champ... quand on a vu la photo on en revenait pas... 😅
.
Donc bien sûr pas de photomontage/composite (jamais avec moi), photo de 8s au 50mm et un Canon 6d defiltré (dédié à l’astronomie). Retouches rapides sur Photoshop (pour régler la balance des blancs, éclaircir le château et accentuer les détails de la Voie lactée).
.
On distingue sur cette photo la constellation du Sagittaire (qui correspond au coeur de la Voie lactée) avec la nébuleuse de la Lagune, Trifide, Oméga, L’aigle, et le nuage du Sagittaire. 🌌

D’autres photographies ont été faites ce soir là, je posterai ça bientôt!

De 1914 à 1918, le Château de Chenonceau est aménagé en hôpital militaire. Cet espace dédié, dans la « Galerie des Dômes », rend hommage à la mémoire de tous ceux qui ont permis de soigner ici plus de 2 250 blessés, pendant les quatre années complètes qu’a duré la Grande Guerre.
In origine nella tenuta sede dell'attuale castello si trovava un maniero che fu bruciato dalle truppe reali nel 1411 per punire il proprietario, Jean Marques, accusato di una cospirazione. Nel 1430 Marques ricostruì il castello insieme ad un mulino fortificato ma il suo erede, fortemente indebitato, nel 1513 vendette il castello a Thomas Bohier, tesoriere dei re Carlo VIII, Luigi XII e Francesco I. Bohier distrusse tutti gli edifici esistenti e diroccati tranne la torre di vedetta e tra il 1515 e il 1521 costruì un nuovo castello per la moglie, Catherine Briçonnet, che vi soleva intrattenere la nobiltà francese e in due occasioni ospitò anche re Francesco I.
Alla morte di Bohier (1524) e della moglie (1526) il figlio Antoine dovette cedere il castello alla corona per pagare i debiti del padre. Prese possesso del castello il governatore di Montmorency in nome del re Francesco I impegnato in quegli anni nella costruzione del castello di Chambord.
