The toast of the Loire is the Chenonceau Château. This16th century renaissance palace arches gracefully over the Cher River and is impeccably maintained. There are fresh flower arrangements in the summer and cozy log fires in the winter. Chenonceau is one of the most visited Château in France, so it is recommended to either come early at opening or come late about an hour before closing. This is of course in the July and August high season. We are just outside of this, so parking was no problem and although there were a lot if people, we were not delayed or really held up at any time. There were times when we had rooms all to ourselves. Weather was great and since we were staying on the bike scheduled route we took our time here and just enjoyed this amazing Château, all in about 5 and a half hours.
