Castle Chronicles


Venture back to a 12th-century medieval fortress, where only the keep stands tall today. Fast forward to 1515, when Thomas Bohier sparked the transformation of Chenonceau Castle into the Renaissance gem we marvel at.

Famously known as the "Ladies' Castle," its story weaves through generations of women who crafted its beauty and safeguarded its legacy, making it the crown jewel of the Loire Valley, a proud UNESCO World Heritage site. Learn more about the castle of chenonceau at France Miiature.
