Perhaps the most beautiful Chateau in the Loire Valley southwest of Paris, Chenonceau is one of several famous ones there. Others include Amboise and Chambord. While large, these royal estates are much smaller than Fountainebleu and Versailles among others. Roughly 60 miles from Paris, this area is best visited by car, although no doubt tours from Paris are also possible.
