Chateau de Montbrun in France’s Aquitaine. A legend has it that Richard the Lionheart spent the last 12 days of his life there after he was wounded by an arrow during the siege of Chalus-Chabrol castle. It still has its moat filled with water, a square keep and round towers. The outlook is properly medieval. The castle was built in the 12th century by a noble man named Brun who returned from the Second Crusade. Some 300 years later it was rebuilt. It was constantly contested by the French and the English.

Chateau de Chenonceau, probably the most peculiar and beautiful castle of the Loire. It was devised and protected by women. Diane de Poitiers commissioned the building of the bridge and gardens in 1555. It was later modified and owned by Catherine de Medici and Louise de Lorraine.
