GUIDED TOUR OF CHAUMONT-SUR-LOIRE CASTLE
Set in the heart of a landscaped park, Chaumont Castle overlooks the Loire and the charming village on the banks of the river. Formerly owned by Catherine de’ Medici in 1552 and by her rival Diane de Poitiers, it was acquired in 1875 by the Princess de Broglie, who transformed it into a truly modern princely residence.
