What To Expect

Chateau de Chambord

In existence since the Middle Ages, Chambord was renovated in a typical Renaissance style by King François I. It was constructed on the foundation of a fortified château that was decorated in a gothic style while its structure was that of a Greek cross. Chambord welcomed Charles Quint in 1539 and was then fortified by Charles IX in 1566.

Chateau de Chenonceau

Chateau de Chenonceau is the most visited and photographed chateau of the Loire Valley in France. It is often described as ‘the ladies chateau’ as throughout its history it is they who have most influenced its design and its destiny. The “Château of Ladies” reffers to the different female owners who would mark its history. In collaboration with architect Philippe Delorme, Diane de Poitiers would redo the castle and add an arched bridge that crossed the Cher River, as well as gardens that bear her name. When Catherine de Medici took over the château following the death of Henri II, a series of improvements were made on the edifice and in the gardens. Louise de Lorraine, Madame de la Pelouze and Laure Menier were all leading figures in the renovation and reorganizing that occurred at Chenonceau.

Chateau Royal d'Amboise

The dominant renaissance style of Château d'Amboise in the Loire Valley, France, is there for all to see well before you even enter the town as its position high above the Loire river makes it obvious from quite a distance as you drive along the approach roads on the river bank. The Lords of Amboise set up home in their château during the 12th century, thus taking control over the grounds.

Chateau de Cheverny

A former home, the Cheverny château was enlarged during the reign of François I with the backing of Jean Hurault. In the 1630s, the edifice was almost entirely demolished. Henri Hurault initiated the construction of a new château with the aid of known artisans like Jean Mosnier for interior paintings and Gilles Guérin for French-style garden sculptures. Guérin would later be in charge of decorative elements at Versailles. It was Cheverny that inspired Belgian cartoonist Hergé to create the Château de Moulinsart in the world-famous Adventures of Tintin and Milou.
