Monday's chateau - Château de Châteaudun.

Rising dramatically above the Loir (no 'e') valley, the Château de Châteaudun combines medieval fortress walls with early Renaissance architecture. Its massive vertical stonework gives the impression of a stronghold carved directly from the rock.

“Each château tells a story — of kings, of artists, and of the dream of France itself.”
