Chenonceaux Trip Overview
This is the must see chateau of the Loire Valley. You will learn about womens history, mysterious graffiti, technological and scientific changes, peoples beliefs, dietary changes, garden history and what drove the economy when the chateau was built. Some powerful female characters have occupied this place – some of them you will have heard of, some will be new names for you. but all are fascinating. I’ll cover a bit of modern history too – what happened here during the two World Wars. I’m very happy to tailor the presentation to clients interests. If there is interest I can cover medicine, heritage engineering, textile manufacturing, transport and more, all of which can be demonstrated by elements of this magnificent site. But the lives and loves of the women who lived here will not be forgotten in all of this. Nor will the beautiful objects inside. My background is not art history, but collections care and the behind the scenes management of historic sites.
