Chenonceau is especially famous for the château, a vessel in stone jutting out over the Cher River.

This book is an ode to the art of Renaissance gardens and the lavish festivities that were staged there. 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.
