Chateau de Chenonceau


Chenonceaux is a small village and a commune of France, located in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley, about 26 km (16 mi) east of Tours. It is situated on the right bank of the Cher River.

The population of permanent residents hovers around 300, as of 2004, but there is a large influx of tourists during the pleasant months of the year, because the village is home to the former Royal Château de Chenonceau, one of the most popular destinations in France. The castle is distinctive in being built right over the river.
