Chenonceau, the pearl of the Loire valley

            The history of the Château de Chenonceau is marked by an almost uninterrupted succession of women who built, embellished, protected, restored and saved it. The first castle is a medieval castle from the 12th and 13th centuries, of which only the keep remains: the Tour des Marques. The current monument was built from 1513 to 1517.
The castle spans the river Cher. From 1940 to 1942, the Cher was part of the Demarcation line, which marked the border between the part of France occupied by Germany and the unoccupied Vichy-France. Via the castle people could reach the free part of France from the north side.
