The chateau is famously known as the Ladies’ Castle due to the influential women, including Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de' Medici, who significantly shaped its history.

The renowned Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci, contributed to the design and construction of Chateau de Chenonceau.

The two castles we visited were spectacular, each with its own unique features. Chambord. Inside, the video presentation—in French but completely understandable—was a highlight. The garden didn’t look as good as expected due to the heat, but the castle more than made up for it. Parking costs 8 euros. You can spend 3–4 hours there. Chenonceaux Castle. Its gardens far surpass the castle itself. It’s worth visiting just to see them. Parking is free. The castle, of course, has its own charm and is spread out beyond the central complex into pavilions such as the Science Pavilion and the Pharmacy Pavilion. There are also gardens of medicinal plants and a very well-maintained vegetable garden with water fountains for both the garden and the visitors. Both are highly recommended. And with the mobile ticket, it’s very easy to enter without waiting in line at the ticket office. However, if you want a self-guided tour, you must purchase it at the ticket office before entering the grounds.

A very beautiful castle, though the grounds are in poor condition due to the current drought, and there aren’t enough benches in the park to rest on. Picnics are allowed, but I didn’t see any trash cans, so be sure to take your trash with you when you leave. The price, including paid parking (€21 + €8), is a bit expensive.
