点评:I visited Chateau de Chenonceau on October 19, 2025. This particular chateau was probably the one I liked the most out of all those that I visited during this trip. Its fundament is built so that it looks like it’s floating on the river. Similarly to Chateau de Chambord, the colors are absolutely neutral, giving it a very still and smooth look. The structure of the towers and the construction of it add detail and depth to the exterior yet keep its chill appearance. There was also a beautiful garden surrounding the chateau. The chateau is known to be “the women’s place” where every queen and mistress had her own room, which is demonstrated by the smooth and pleasant exterior design. Inside, the rooms are also very sophisticated and comfortable, in my opinion, where every woman, as mentioned before, had her own room and each one was equally appreciated by Thomas Bohier who built it.
I personally found this place comforting and satisfying. Even though it wasn’t as massive and colossal as Chateau de Chambord, it was still very elegant and beautiful. Also it wasn’t as tiring to explore it as it was the others. While exploring this chateau, I was able to prove myself wrong about the average height of humans back then. Humans actually weren’t that much shorter than we are today; the beds
are small because people would stack big pillows and sleep in an almost half-sitting position - therefore not needing a long bed. The reason why they slept that way was because they would have to accept visits at any time, so they had to look put together

我个人觉得这里令人感到舒适惬意。虽然它不像香波堡那样宏伟壮丽,但依然优雅迷人。而且探索这座城堡不像探索其他城堡那样累人。在探索这座城堡的过程中,我推翻了自己之前对当时人类平均身高的认知。事实上,当时的人类身高并没有比我们今天矮多少;床之所以小,
是因为人们会叠放大枕头,以近乎半坐的姿势睡觉——因此不需要很长的床。他们之所以这样睡觉,是因为他们需要随时接待访客,所以必须保持仪容整洁。
