![Châteaux (construction begun in 1515 by Thomas Bohier, revenue collector for King Francis I; later became the favorite residence of Henry II's widow Catherine de Médicis, whose son Francis II and Mary, Queen of Scots, were married here in 1560. In 1747 Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived here, as he wrote in The Confessions, "we went to pass the autumn in Touraine, at the castle of Chenonceaux, a royal mansion upon the Cher, built by Henry the II., for Diana of Poitiers, of whom the ciphers are still seen, and which is now in the possession of M. Dupin, a farmer-general. We amused ourselves very agreeably in this beautiful place, and lived very well ... Music was a favorite relaxation. I composed several trios full of harmony, and of which I may perhaps speak in my supplement if ever I should write one. Theatrical performances were another resource. I wrote a comedy in fifteen days, entitled l'Engagement temeraire... I composed several other little things: amongst others a poem entitled, l'Allee de Sylvie, from the name of an alley in the park upon the bank of the Cher; and this without discontinuing my chemical studies."
