# Domaine de Chenonceau

Chenonceaux, Indre-et-Loire, Centre-Val de Loire

Domaine de Chenonceau stands in Chenonceaux (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). Adult admission costs 19 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built above the Cher river, this Renaissance château owes its current form to Thomas Bohier, who had the main building erected on the piers of a former mill starting in 1512. Diane de Poitiers and later Catherine de Médicis added the gallery spanning the river, making it one of the few châteaux built directly over water. Visitors can see the apartments, a straight staircase among the earliest of its kind in France, and the formal French gardens surrounding the estate.
