Chenonceaux

September 13th

On to Chenonceaux, another of the great chateau of the Loire about 30 miles away. Chenonceaux was built at the same time as Chambord but on a much smaller scale, spanning the river Cher and retaining the moats of the former medieval castle, with magnificent formal gardens. Note the Japanese couple in the Chateau pic ~ they were taking their own wedding portfolio of pictures around the Chateau and gardens.
