Chenonceau Chateau History, Episode 171

Join Us in France Travel Podcast In this trip report, Nancy Calkins tells us about her visit to the Chenonceau and Cheverny Chateaux in the Loire Valley. They are both spectacular, and Cheverny also offered stimulating activities for her teens, including the hunting dog pack and the tie-in to the Tintin stories. Nancy has some recommendations of where to stay in Montrichard which were quirky and fun. Then, in the French History segment of the podcast, Annie shares the Chenonceau Chateau History and the story of the rivalry between Diane de Poitiers et Catherine de Medicis. She also describes how two French Kings died: François I and Henry II. You decide, which one was worse?
