Ch\u00e2teau de Chenonceau<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This weekend, I went to visit some famous castles in the Pays de la Loire Valley (the region that I’m staying in). I visited the Ch\u00e2teau de Chenonceau and the Ch\u00e2teau de Chambord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau de Chenonceau:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This castle was inherited by the royal family, and\nthroughout time, many people of the royal family have made themselves guests in\nChenonceau. But the most significant piece of history of this castle is how\nKing Henri ll decided to offer the castle to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers\nand not his Queen, Catherine de Medici. They both hated each other, and\nCatherine de Medici was very angry that her husband gave the estate to Diane de\nPoitiers. But in 1559, after Henri ll passed away, Catherine de Medici got rid\nof Diane de Poitiers very quickly, and gave the estate to her son Henri lll.\nAnd when Henri lll passed away, his wife, Louise de Lorraine moved into the\ncastle to mourn her husband. During World War l, the castle became a military\nhospital, which I got to visit the hall where many soldiers were being\nhospitalized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau de Chombard: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1519, this castle was built by Francois l, as a hunting\nlodge. He built the castle to resemble Renaissance architecture, and it became\nthe largest castle in the Pays de la Loire region. After the death of Francois\nl, his decedents Henri ll and Louis XIV, continued the construction of the\ncastle, as both of them enjoyed hunting. In the castle, there were over 400\ndifferent rooms, yes I got very lost. But many of the rooms resembled rooms\nfrom Versailles, which were constructed by Louis XIV at the time. This castle\nwas one of my favorites because it’s full of history and so many historical\nfigures have made a presence in this castle, and it’s so amazing that I got to\nsee the remnants of that history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
