Chenonceaux Travel Blogs

The most touristy thing one must do whilst in the Loire Valley is do the Chateau tours. Why? Because it's not only why people come here, but it's the most convenient if not the most economical way to see the region. I would say the whole concept is a bit expensive, and in some places I thought the …

I visited Chenonceau château on the river Cher today.  The château, built in the 1430s, was used by several mistresses and wives of kings of France, although not at the same time, for obvious reasons.  Catherine de Médici was a famous resident, and the château was the site of the…

A few days drive around Northern France
