Flatiron Building

The Château de Chenonceau is a magnificent 16th-century architectural triumph located in the Loire Valley, France. It is considered one of the most spectacular Renaissance châteaux in the world. First built in 1513 as a simple hunting lodge, the château was expanded over the next two centuries to become one of the supreme examples of French Renaissance architecture and design. With stunning gardens, multiple bridges, a system of canals, wooded pathways and a secret formal French garden, the Château de Chenonceau is an awe-inspiring sight. There are treasures to explore throughout its grand interior, including ancient tapestries, fine furniture and a gallery of 16th-century paintings. Take a stroll through the grand courtyards and gardens and discover the château as it once was.
