Château de Chenonceau, nicknamed the Ladies' Castle, is a Loire château situated in Touraine, in the municipality of Chenonceaux, in the Indre-et-Loire department in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Chenonceau, with its celebrated two-story gallery overlooking the Cher, stands as one of the jewels of Loire Valley architecture. Its borrowings from Italy and its French characteristics are strikingly evident. Chenonceau was built, furnished, and transformed by women of decidedly different temperaments.
