While in France I visited a ton of castles. None were bigger than Chambord. And while there I even got to listen to an orchestra rehearsing for a concert later on that night.
Here is the Chateau Cheverny. It is used as the basis for the Tin Tin comics.
This is the Chateau Beauregard. Also known as the place where I realized I should have brought an extra camera battery and that taking a million photos of each castle was probably not a good idea.
This is the Chateau de Chaumont. It was pretty cool because I thought it looked a bit more medieval than some of the other castles.
I also went to the Chateau Azay-le-Rideau. Twice actually. Once by myself during the day and then again at night with the girls from the cycling trip to catch the sound and light show.
The Chateau Rigny-Usse is famed to be the basis of the Sleeping Beauty story.
The Chateau Villandry has some amazing gardens. I couldn't even imagine how much more spectacular they would be earlier in the season when everything was blooming.
The Chateau de Chenonceau is really neat because it has a cool looking bridge going across a river. It was a little overcast the day that I was there, but I think that turned out ok because the photos have a grey (almost black and white) feel to them.
