UNESCO SITE FOR BOTH HISTORY AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN....

Few visit Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire...pity! The history here dates back to the year one thousand! DIzzying politics! Carherine de Medici bought the Château which was very profitable given the toll on the Loire and farming plots. When she had her dust up with Diane de Poitiers she moved her out of Chenonceau and gave Diane this Château. DIane's first decorating move was to install the machicolated rampart walks of the tower.

 

It is here in these massive gardens that the International Garden Festival is held at this UNESCO site.

Photos are endless but this was truly outstanding and appreciate why this is the foremost Centre for Art and Nature devoted entirely to the relationship between nature, artistic creation and the impact on landscape design.
