Transfer for Chenonceau.
Visit of the château of Chenonceaux.
The château of Chenonceaux stands quite literally on the river, a working mill in the early medieval period when the Cher flowed more vigorously, it was transformed into perhaps the most graceful of all French châteaux, its court rooms running clear from one bank to the other on a row of delicate arches. Chenonceaux's development owed much to a succession of beautiful and powerful noblewomen, and its charm is of an undeniably feminine nature.
