In the Tour des Marques visitors will find a souvenir shop.
In addition to the traditional postcards, posters, documents, souvenirs, and the book of Jean-Pierre Babelon, the shop offers "specific products" from the château: jewels with designs inspired by the clothes and finery of the Ladies of Chenonceau:
• The Cross of the Medicis: inspired by the famous diamond cross of Catherine de Medicis,
• The Gothic Cross: a model of the late 15th century in homage to Catherine de Briçonnet,
• Diamond brooch: traditional model from the late 16th century.

Chenonceau is especially famous for the château, a vessel in stone jutting
out over the Cher River. Thanks to this book the gardens created by Diane
de Poitiers and Catherine de Medicis come out of the shadows. These gardens
are untiringly preserved by their present owners. “Chenonceau, Renaissance
Gardens” is an ode to the art of Renaissance gardens and the lavish festivities
that were staged there.
