Chateau Chenonceau, one of the most famous chateaux in the Loire Valley, is located not far from the town of Tours, and spans the River Cher. The chateau, known as “The Lady’s Castle”, was built as a small manor house in 1513 by Katherine Briçonnet, with additions being made by various owners ( including Catherine de’ Medici – wife of King Henry II of France).

Today, visitors from around the world may visit Chateau Chenonceau and its beautiful grounds and gardens. A self-guided audio tour using an iPod Touch is a great way to visit the manor building.
