Château de Chenonceau stands in Francueil (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Adult admission costs 19 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Chenonceau spans the Cher river with a two storey gallery built on a bridge, an architectural feature that sets it apart among the Loire châteaux. Its history is shaped by a line of women, starting with Katherine Briçonnet who had it built in the early 16th century, followed by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Médicis who extended it, earning the building its nickname, the château of the ladies. Owned by the Menier family since 1913, the estate now lies within the Loire Valley area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
