The majestic towers, the intricate double helix staircases and the elegance of its gardens will transport you to an era of monarchs and nobles.
You will then arrive at the Château de Chenonceau, also known as the "Château des Dames", an elegant building overlooking the Cher River, with a refined architecture that holds intriguing stories.
