Fifteen years ago, when I visited Château de Chamont for the first time with Jean Michel, he showed me “his” Loire. At the time, I found it somewhat austere. Today, it has become “my” Loire too.

It certainly feels like home to me already. Nice shot from Chaumont.
Chaumont has by far the best situation of any of the Touraine Loire Valley chateaux in my opinion, being almost the only one that overlooks the ‘wild Loire’. Simon didn’t respond positively to the Loire river landscape initially. It’s only been in the last year that he has started coming around. Like many people, he prefers the Cher.
I have grown to really love the Loire too.
