Along the Loire River Valley, the beautiful French countryside is studded with evocative châteaux. On this episode, with a home-base in Amboise, host Rick Steves visits four unique castles: elegant Chenonceau, massive Chambord, stately Cheverny and fragrant Villandry. Along the way, we tour Leonardo's home, feed hunting dogs, enjoy the local cuisine, and savor a princely garden.
