Bedrooms for Queens and Kings -Chenonceau-

The Loire Valley hosts many castles built or remodeled for Kings and Queens. Bedrooms are always amazing pieces of style. Here are some Chenonceau beds.

The castle was given to Diane of Poitiers, mistress of King Henri II. Then after the King death, Catherine of Medicis, Queen of France, took it back and ruled France Kingdom from there.







One of the bedroom is black and dark. Louise of Lorraine, widow of Henri II, lived there for 12 years after his husband was killed. She closed herself from the world and forgot herself in prayers. The bedroom feels like a tomb.
