Nocturne au château des dames - a photo on Flickriver

Chenonceau on blue hour

Chenonceau est construit, aménagé et transformé par des femmes très différentes de par leur tempérament. Il est édifié par Katherine Briçonnet en 1513, enrichi par Diane de Poitiers et agrandi sous Catherine de Médicis. Il devient un lieu de recueillement avec la reine blanche Louise de Lorraine, puis il est sauvegardé par Louise Dupin au cours de la Révolution française et enfin, métamorphosé par madame Pelouze. C'est ainsi qu'il est surnommé le château des Dames, car « cette empreinte féminine est partout présente, le préservant des conflits et des guerres pour en faire depuis toujours un lieu de paix. Château meublé, décoré de rares tapisseries et peintures anciennes, c'est le monument historique privé le plus visité de France, serti de plusieurs jardins d'agrément, un parc et un domaine viticole.

Chenonceau is built, constructed and transformed by very different women by their temperament. It was built by Katherine Briconnet in 1513, enriched by Diane de Poitiers and enlarged under Catherine de Medicis. It became a place of contemplation with the White Queen Louise of Lorraine, then it was saved by Louise Dupin during the French Revolution and finally, metamorphosed by Madame Pelouze. This is how it is dubbed the Castle of the ladies, because "this feminine footprint is everywhere present, preserving it from conflicts and wars to make it always a place of peace." Furnished castle, decorated with rare tapestries and ancient paintings, it is the most visited private historical monument of France, set with several pleasure gardens, a park and a wine estate.
