The gardens of Diane de Poitiers

and the castle beyond. History of famous ladies queens of France.So much little stories ,so much history of France. You know its two spelling we all get a kick out it, the town is spell Chenonceaux, and the castle is Chenonceau. Just for a nice lady Mme Dupin, who decided to for ladies sake have it different than the town.
Built in 1513 by order of Katherine Briçonnet, enriched by Diane de Poitiers, then Catherine de Médicis, and in between by Gabrielle d'Estrées and Louise de Lorraine, it is often call the castle of the ladies or château des Dames.
