Chenonceau
I will not tell you about the castle of Chenonceau, probably one of the most famous of the "Loire castles", misnamed in this case because it spans... the Cher !
In order not to shock young readers, I will not describe to you either the bacchanal which took place in 1577, called "Le bal des breasts nus", wanted and organized by Catherine de Médicis, and I will not mention to myself the daily baths taken by Diane de Poitiers, very poorly dressed, in the Cher, is intended to maintain the firmness of her baits...
No, I'd just say this castle is a marvel!
Seen from the Cher
After a long visit, do not deprive yourself of the pleasure of rediscovering it in a different way, from the surface of the Cher.
To do this, there is a company nearby that will offer you lunch on board a boat on a small cruise on the Cher.
But there may be something better...
You can also rent small electric boats from the same company, whose obvious advantage is that they produce no noise. To you the song of the birds and the rustle of the whirlwinds....
In a wheelchair too...
But this pleasure is no longer reserved for able-bodied people. This still seems a little unusual despite the efforts made, in general, with regard to the accessibility of the premises and activities, but the company also offers the rental of a specially equipped electric boat so that it can be easily taken in a wheelchair, including an electric wheelchair, even though it is quite heavy.
This was worth noting!
