45,000 Chateaux

 

There are 45,000 chateaux in France and Chateau de Chambord  is classed as the most beautiful in France.  

I must admit it is No. 1 on my list as I much prefer the smaller and romantic Chateau de Chenonceau which was placed in 2nd place.

Chateau de Chenonceau is really a jewel in France's crown with it's beautiful gardens and romantic setting.

It is owned by the Menier family who made their fortune in Chocolate. 

The gardens were destroyed in a flood in 1940 but thanks to the Menier family the gardens and dilapidated  were carefully restored  and the Chateaux is one of the most visited and loved in France.
