Related: Chaumont-Sur-Loire [0] and Chenonceau [1] are both absolutely gorgeous in person, especially when everything is in bloom, and less than 3 hours drive from Paris. (Or train, since it's a civilized country) Would highly recommend a château trip down the Loire valley over Disney. ;) And if you really need a faux fix, there's always Mini Castle Park [2] near Amboise...

On the list!
