We toured the Chateaus of the Loire Valley in the fall of 2011. I would love to return and visit again. The chateau built over the river is Chenenonceau. It was one of my favorites. I agree, wouldn't it be fun to have been the architect of these structures. <br />Loved the visit! ~ SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484061334032211360.post-69268215751605789882013-05-18T12:41:00.037-07:002013-05-18T12:41:00.037-07:00Gorgeous.
