Located on a rocky spur, Bourdeilles Castle features two buildings from different periods. There's a medieval fortress from the 13th century with a notable keep, and a Renaissance residence with an impressive furniture collection from Aquitaine.
The Château de Chenonceau is a gorgeous French château with an interesting history that features an almost uninterrupted succession of females at the helm. It spans the River Cher and is located not far from the small village of Chenonceaux, in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France.
