The chapel at the Chateau de Chenonceau is decorated in the most spectacular style at Christmas time. In December 2021 it was a large hanging wreath, suspended from chains coming through a neat hole in the ceiling. My clients wanted to know if the hole was original, or had been drilled in modern times just for the Christmas decorations. I was pleased to be able to tell them that the hole is entirely original, and would once have been how the rope for the bell was fed through so it could be rung. If you like to know small details like that, contact us and book a tour.
