Loire Valley, October 2004

The Loire Valley is home to some of the most impressive French châteaux of the Renaissance. We visited Chambord, Cheverny (glimpsed through the gate), Blois, Chenonceau, and the gardens of the château de Villandry. A recurring image is the salamander, emblem of king François Ier, who built Chambord and part of Blois and who owned Chenonceau.

It is so fun to see great pictures as you took, from the place I am coming from. How much time did you spend in France?
