Monday's chateau...Chateau de Valencay,

Step Back in Time at the Château de Valençay: France’s Underrated Royal Gem.

If you’re exploring the châteaux of the Loire Valley and think you’ve seen it all—Chambord, Chenonceau, Amboise, think again. Tucked just to the south, in the quiet, pastoral Indre region, is a place that’s as grand, fascinating, and history-soaked as any of its more famous neighbors: the Château de Valençay.

This stunning estate isn't just another pretty castle—it's where diplomacy, elegance, and a dash of political intrigue come together under one slate-blue roof. Trust us: it’s worth the detour.
