Tips from the Community

Rianne
September 20, 2025, Château de Chenonceau

Did you know: During the First World War, the castle was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers by its owner, Simonne Menier (of the Menier chocolate family). – Long rows of camp beds lined the large gallery above the Cher River. – More than 2,000 wounded were reportedly cared for within the castle walls. A bizarre contrast: the ornate Renaissance halls as a place for bandages, operations, and recovery.

A beautiful cycle path along the Cher. Be careful, the track can be flooded and impassable when the Cher is in flood
