Nothing prepares you for the magnificence of this beautiful Chateau. From the tree lined avenue approach, to the majestic sight of its white turrets and stone arches standing over the River Cher. The Château is much smaller than many, and has an intimacy about it, so that you can almost imagine living there. Cosy is not the right word, but it has the feel of a home rather than a monument. It has a marvellous history of strong and powerful women, most notably Catherine de Médicis, once the Queen of France.
It was so good to come here again to refresh my memory, even if the skies were a dramatic dark grey with the occasional shower! I have taken lots of notes and photographs, as Chateau de Chenonceau will appear in some scenes in Windsong, the sequel to Parisian Legacy!
