Château de Chenonceau, located in the commune of Chenonceaux in Indre-et-Loire, is one of the jewels of Renaissance architecture in the Loire Valley. With its famous two-storey gallery spanning the Cher River, it is an impressive sight to behold. Built in 1513 by architect Philibert Delorme, the château is currently owned by the Menier family. In addition to a visit to the château, it is possible to combine a visit to Chenonceau with one to other châteaux in the region, such as Chambord or Azay-le-Rideau. Château de Chenonceau is a must-see for lovers of history and architecture.

Chenonceau Castle
The gardens of Chenonceau : a royal botanical tour !
The Renaissance garden of Diane de Poitiers, the intimate garden of Catherine de Medici, the green garden and its remarkable trees, the labyrinth, the flower garden: the botanical tour, lasting 1h30, led by Nicholas Tomlan, allows you to discover the historical gardens, their evolution over the centuries, but also the birth of more contemporary gardens such as the garden in homage to Russell Page, a great English landscape gardener of the 20th century!
Wine tour: In Chenonceau Veritas!
Starting from the castle's vineyards, this walk invites you to explore the gardens of Chenonceau at nightfall for a guided and sensory visit. Raised in the heart of a perfect alchemy between nature and unique architecture (it is one of the seven European vineyards listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the wines of the Touraine-Chenonceaux AOC will celebrate in 2021 the 10th anniversary of the recognition of the appellation. A tasting under the stars with personalities from the world of gastronomy, music and dance will mark this anniversary on 17 July.
