Chenonceau Chateau

Here is the chateau we visited yesterday. It is the third most visited chateau after Versailles and Fontainebleau and with good reason. Somehow it made it through the French revolution and WWII without being destroyed. Originally it was a gift from the king to his mistress but after the king died the wife took it over.



We visited the rooms of the castle and viewed the gardens.



One really awesome room was the gallery that was built on the bridge that spans the river Cher. They had some great parties there I am sure.


Here are a couple of pictures of the rooms. Tapestries were everywhere as well as many other object d'art.
