Today I visited Chenonceaux, the delicious little palace just down the Cher. I'd like to live here one day. Maybe just in the steward's little tower. I think it could happen.

During WWII, the front door of this chateau was in la zone occupée and the back door was in la zone libre.

| Bedroom of Louise de Lorraine |
My favorite room in Chenonceau is Louise de Lorraine's room. When her husband Henri III was assassinated, she retired to this chateau, painted her room black and wore white for the rest of her life, earning the appellation "The White Queen." Talk about a flare for the dramatic!
