Comprising 50-acre gardens and set against the backdrop of a romantic medieval castle and the sublime colours and landscapes of the Loire Valley, the site has now been classed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15th-century château, once belonging to Catherine de Medecis, was acquired by the prestigious Prince Amédée de Broglie family in the late 19th century. It hosted the Parisian artistic and literary elite as well as foreign visitors, such as the Mahradjah of Kapurthala, who famously offered a baby elephant to the owners as a gift. The château and its contents were sold to the Loire region just before WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1992, Chaumont became home to the International Garden Festival where it has hosted a series of highly creative exhibitions devoted to garden art and landscape art. These exhibitions explore science, technology and art with poetry and inventiveness, beautifully rendered by Eric Sander's magnificent photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424373194988,"sku":"9782080203502","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9782080203502.jpg?v=1774768593"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/chantal-colleu-domund.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
