Sancerre, France

We couldn't leave the Loire Valley without visiting . . .

Chenanceau (a hang-out for powerful women, i.e. Catherine de Medici):

 

 

Chambord (definitely a guy's hang-out - hunting lodge for King François 1):

 

 

We also visited the Clos Luce in Amboise, where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life:

 

 

He died in this very room:
