Monday's Loire Valley Chateau - Chenonceau up front!

This would have been how the original Chateau de Chenonceau on the banks of the river Cher would have looked after its completion in 1517. Katherine Briconnet,the wife of the owner Thomas Bohier,oversaw the building of this small chateau. Diane de Poitiers added the bridge (1547) over the Cher and Catherine de Medici, had the gallery built (1550) giving it its now iconic appearance.
