Chenonceau

Today we are back in Waterford, yesterday on the way back through France we stopped to take a quick look at Chenonceau Castle on the Loire and I took this shot.
We were there with our children about 20 years ago and then I just fell for its wonderful siting, straddling the River Cher with columns.

Henry II built it for his mistress Diane de Poitiers but as soon as he died his jealous widow, Catherine de Medici took it from her for herself.
Can’t blame her really.
