Visit the Château de Chenonceau

Chenonceau has strong ties to key women of 15th-century France, earning the nickname "Château des Dames." With your ticket, you can explore the various rooms, including the bedroom of the Five Queens and Catherine de' Medici's room, which showcases both Italian and French Renaissance decor. On the second floor, visit the rooms of Louise of Lorraine, adorned with macabre elements in memory of her late husband, King Henry III, as well as the ballroom featuring characteristic arches over the Cher River.

Your ticket also grants access to a brochure in English, detailing the castle's history and answering why the name "Chenonceau" lacks an 'X.' Additionally, tickets include access to the extensive gardens, highlighting the hedge maze and the gardens of Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de' Medici, reflecting their lasting influence.
