Chaumont-sur-Loire

Chaumont-sur-Loire
A castle existed here since the 10th century, but when Pierre d'Amboise unsuccessfully rebelled against Louis XI the castle was dismantled on royal order in 1465. It got rebuilt and acquired by Catherine de Medici.

After the death of Henry II, she forced his mistress Diane de Poitiers, to exchange Château de Chaumont for Château de Chenonceau. It changed hands quite often. In 1810 Madame de Staël, exiled from Paris by Napoleon, finished "De l'Allemagne" here.

The Château de Chaumont meanwhile hosts a museum
