For CHRISTMAS, Chenonceau is vowing for a more beautiful world with its floral arrangements portraying the colours of peace
The château of Chenonceau, has for the last thirty years been a strong representative of Art in all its forms, and as recently as this summer housed part of Unesco’s collections offering a contemporary testimony of its humanist commitment.
An exceptional site is what Chenonceau has become through its destiny; built, loved, governed and protected by women who have marked History. This feminine imprint is present everywhere, safeguarding the château from conflicts and wars, making it a haven of peace and serenity.
And Chenonceau wishes to share this commitment for peace with all its visitors from the whole world over coming especially for the Christmas celebrations.
From 8th December to 3rd January, Chenonceau will be radiant in white and gold:
Doves, angels, fir trees, bouquets, symbols and messages of peace in all languages will turn the « Ladies’ Château » into an emblem of harmony.
Chenonceau places gentleness and beauty at the heart of its universal message of peace, to remain the château of noble minds it has always been.
The musical quartet ‘Quatuor Thélème’ will be present for the week-ends of 19th and 26th December, as well as for the week-end of 2nd January, from
1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., to accompany visitors with traditional Christmas carols.
