We went to visit Michael's friend Richard in Normandy. We stopped in Tours for a visit.

We went to visit Chateau Chenonceau which is one of the biggest in the Loire valley built in the 16th century. Henri II gave the castle to his mistress Diane de Poitiers. When he died his wife Catherine of Medici kicked her out and moved in.
I was told to look out for the flower arrangements which were stunning.
the entrance hall, with an amazing ceiling
it was Easter weekend so the theme was eggs
Louise of Lorraine's bedroom who was a widow so the room was painted black
Cesar of Vendome's bedroom
Catherine de Medici's bedroom
Gabrielle d'Estress bedroom
old terracotta floor
the tudor ceiling
cleverly hidden eggs
The grand hall where banquets were held
Diane de Poitiers room
chapel
the orangerie where you can have lunch or tea
the labyrinth, it had been raining so you were sloshing through mud
