Did you know Château de Chenonceau is literally known as Le Château des Dames? While the kings were away, six legendary women were calling the shots: Katherine Briçonnet designed the original layout. ✍️ Diane de Poitiers added those iconic gardens and the bridge. 🌷 Catherine de’ Medici built the grand gallery right on top of it. 👑 No kings allowed in the blueprints—this was a female-led architectural flex that lasted centuries. We love a queen who knows her way around a floor plan. 🥂🇫🇷 #cha
