We started the day with a visit to the magnificent Chateau de Chenonceau, situated on the Cher RIver about 11 miles from Amboise, near the village of Chenonceaux. We spent most of the morning touring the chateau, it's extensive gardens and farm. The chateau was initially constructed between 1514-1522.
