After the death of Henry II, Catherine de' Medici wrests the château of Chenonceau from her rival Diane de Poitiers, the king's gift to his favorite. In the midst of the Wars of Religion, she drives forward works and turns it into a haven of festivities and pleasures to distract her three king sons, a stage for lavish celebrations and political intrigues.
Work subtitled «le château des plaisirs», devoted to the château of Chenonceau (Chenonceaux, France) and to the queens and princesses who lived there.
For those interested in the history of France, its queens and the Renaissance court.
