Here is a very well maintained Castle, which will satisfy you both inside, and in its large and beautiful gardens intended to be admired as well as to stroll quietly. Note the existence of large parking lots outside and toilets whose cleanliness must be emphasized and which are both free.

The Château de Chenonceau: a human-sized castle, beautifully furnished and decorated. Do not miss the basement kitchens. I also recommend the cruise on the Cher which will take you under the arches of the castle with splendid views of the castle. To your smartphones for the most beautiful photos ever seen.

Magical place even in the rain.

The visit to Chenonceau represented one of the best moments of our holiday in France. We feared that it would be ruined by the rain, but it did not happen. The overcast sky has contributed to give charm to this home absolutely to visit. The only negative was the huge influx of tourists in August, but I must say that the castle also welcomes large numbers. The audio guides were limited in number (for technical reasons), but we who had made the purchase online were guaranteed. We really liked that.
