French chateau keynote
The Chateau de Chambord in the Loire Valley of France is the most recognized chateau due to its extensive features and architecture, including designs potentially by Leonardo Da Vinci. While resembling a defensive castle, it was never intended for defense purposes. King Francois I commissioned its construction, but a war slowed building with lack of funds, nearly stopping it altogether. The chateau went unfinished during Francois' lifetime and was later abandoned for decades before becoming a major tourist site today.

Versailles, Paris - Chateau
For most visitors, who went to the Palace of Versailles, the most common to feeling after the visit was that they were overwhelmed by the extravagance and the opulence of the palace. Apart from the Hall of Mirrors, most people could remember very little of individual rooms. I hope this slideshow would allow you to revisit the palace once again and make a little sense of what you saw.
The Palace of Versailles is the most well known example of European Palace. The palace is also a statement of the wealth and power of an absolute monarch. Since then the design of the palace had been copied all over the world.
It was constructed during the reign of Louis XIV, when the power of the absolute French monarch was at its zenith. Louis XIV saw the palace as a setting to propagate his own personality cult. It was here at Versailles, Louis XIV daily theatrical rituals were on show to nobility – routines like the king rises, the king retirement at night, even the queen giving birth to the royal babies are opened to the public eyes.
Today, the French is keen to shake off this symbol of absolute monarchy but to portrait the palace as achievements of French culture, of French taste and as a place where great international diplomacy is conducted. It was here the Treaty of Versailles was sign, putting an end to the First World War.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Nuremberg Laws passed in Nazi Germany. The laws stripped German Jews of their citizenship and rights, regarding them as subjects rather than citizens. They were isolated and faced medical exams to determine their racial purity before being allowed to marry. Later amendments defined anyone with three Jewish grandparents as a "full Jew," completely segregating them from the rest of society. The laws restricted Jews' rights and freedoms and laid the foundation for further anti-Semitic persecution.

Chateaux keynote
- 1. Les Châteaux de la Loire Charming Châteaux de Villandry By: Ju li a n ne K eb er : )
- 2. What are chateaux? Who built them? Châteaux are castles that were built by French Kings.
- 3. Loire Valley...Where? What? The Loire Valley is located between Maine and Sully-sur- Loire, basically in the central region of France. The Loire is known as “The Garden of France,” and “The Cradle of the French Language.” It is a beautifully constructed cultural landscape.
- 4. When/Why were they built? Châteaux were built during the 10th century because the local French Kings didn’t want to be far from the seat of power.
- 6. !Architecture! Built by Jean le Breton. This chateau was indeed built up from a previous 12th century castle, that from which Jean only kept an old tower, located behind the main courtyard. The next owner, after Jean and his family, built Classical style outbuildings which are on either side of the front courtyard. This next owner was named Marquis de Castellane and he also redesigned the château’s interior to fit the 18th century standards, that of which resemble much of what we have now-a-days. After Marquis, the Villandry was then owned by his Great-Grandfather Dr. Joachim Carvallo. He devoted himself entirely to the Villandry and fixed up the gardens that were destroyed during the 19th century. The new gardens were in sync with the Renaissance architecture of the rest of the château.
- 7. Magnificent Front Tower Garden Main Courtyard
- 8. *Famous Event* July 4, 1189 was the date the “Paix de Colombiers,” was signed at this château.
- 10. Stay in a château Name: Château Tourelles Location: Courcelles-de-Touraine Château’s history: This is a 19th century romantic château that holds up to 27-28 guests. It has spired turrets, shiny slate, and white stone, all of which help capture its fairytale image. Interior Description: Each and everyone of it’s rooms are beautiful and have a girly type fairytale taste to them. It has gorgeous spiral white staircases that lead from the downstairs to the upstairs. The entrance has a huge tower on each side, giving the feel of an old time castle with a drop down door. The ceilings are decorated beautifully just like the ceiling of the sistine chapel. Amenities: When I first selected this particular château, I loved the picture of the spiral staircase, which I think is the cherry on top of a castle fit for a princess. I also noticed the pictures of weddings that have taken place at the château Tourelles; if I could I would probably have my own wedding here. What to do here?: While at this château you can enjoy great wine, historic shops, and an impressive cathedral, along with golf, tennis, horse riding, and a great chance to visit the coast which is not too far away. Date to stay: I would depart on June 26 and stay until June 30, because I would love to spend a birthday weekend here at this château. Cost is 8,107.00 euros and $11,499.37 US dollars.
