When the French kings began constructing their huge châteaux in the Loire Valley, the nobility, drawn to the seat of power, followed suit, attracting the finest architects and landscape designers. The châteaux and their surrounding gardens are cultural monuments which embody the ideals of the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Enlightenment" class="mw-redirect" title="The Enlightenment">Enlightenment</a>.

In the late 15th century Tours, then Blois, and later Amboise became the preferred locations of the French royal court. Many courtiers bought dilapidated castles built by the medieval <a href="/wiki/Counts_of_Blois" title="Counts of Blois">Counts of Blois</a> and <a href="/wiki/Counts_and_dukes_of_Anjou" title="Counts and dukes of Anjou">of Anjou</a>, and they had them reconstructed in the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance_architecture" title="Renaissance architecture">latest Italianate fashion</a>. <a href="/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci" title="Leonardo da Vinci">Leonardo da Vinci</a> and other Italian artists arrived to design and beautify these residences.

With him went the great architects, but the Loire Valley continued to be the place where French royalty preferred to spend their time when not in the capital. Toward the end of the 17th century, <a href="/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Louis XIV of France">Louis XIV</a> made the Île-de-France the permanent locale for great royal residences when he built the <a href="/wiki/Palace_of_Versailles" title="Palace of Versailles">Palace of Versailles</a>. Nonetheless, those who gained the king's favour, as well as the wealthy <a href="/wiki/Bourgeoisie" title="Bourgeoisie">bourgeoisie</a>, continued to renovate existing châteaux or build lavish new ones in the Loire Valley as summer residences. The <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a> saw a number of the great châteaux destroyed and many ransacked, their treasures stolen. The overnight impoverishment of many French noble families, usually after one of their members lost his or her head to the <a href="/wiki/Guillotine" title="Guillotine">guillotine</a>, saw many châteaux demolished. During <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> and <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, various chateaux were commandeered as military headquarters. Some of these continued to be so used after the end of World War II. Today, the remaining privately owned châteaux serve as homes and some of them open their doors to tourists, while others operate as hotels or bed-and-breakfasts. Many others have been taken over by local governments, and the grandest, like those at <a href="/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Chambord" title="Château de Chambord">Chambord</a>, are owned and operated by the national government and are major tourist sites, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_châteaux_of_the_Loire">List of châteaux of the Loire</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ch%C3%A2teaux_of_the_Loire_Valley&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: List of châteaux of the Loire">edit</a>]</div> Though there may be no universally accepted definition for the designation, the main criterion is that the château must be situated close to the <a href="/wiki/Loire" title="Loire">Loire</a> or one of its tributaries (such as the <a href="/wiki/Maine_(river)" title="Maine (river)">Maine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cher_(river)" title="Cher (river)">Cher</a>, <a href="/wiki/Indre_(river)" title="Indre (river)">Indre</a>, <a href="/wiki/Creuse_(river)" title="Creuse (river)">Creuse</a> or <a href="/wiki/Loir" title="Loir">Loir</a>).
