Paris Poo
Paris is the capital of the world when it comes to poo littered footpaths. The city is home to more than 200,000 dogs who leave behind about 16 tonnes of evidence per day. So be warned! Watch your step and don’t put your foot in it.
Versailles from Above
Versailles is much more than Château and Gardens. A film shot from a drone gives a bird’s-eye view of the organisation of the royal city as composed by Louis XIV and André Le Nôtre. From above, the ties between the town and the château become clear.
Blois, the City of Kings
On the banks of the Loire and midway between Orleans and Tours, the Royal City of Blois is well-placed in the very heart of the Loire valley. Seven kings and ten queens have occupied the famous chateau overlooking the city of Blois, an obvious appeal for the nobility to build their famous residences.
Château Amboise
A place of residence for French kings from the 15th to the 19th centuries, its destiny is inextricably linked to the history of France. Numerous literary figures and artists were invited here, like Leonardo da Vinci whose tomb is preserved at the château.
Château d’Ussé – The Sleeping Beauty Castle
Legend has it that Charles Perrault, while staying at Château d’Ussé as a guest of the Count of Saumur, was inspired to portray the Château as the castle in his 17th-century tale of Sleeping Beauty.
Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, the Art of Restoration
Located on an idyllic island with the Indre River providing the perfect moat and just outside a picturesque village, the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau is one of the few châteaux built by aristocracy rather than royalty.
