Ceiling - National Archeology Museum in Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye by Beausoleil
Henri II Renaissance in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a special exhibit at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale et Domaine National de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Henri II was King of France from 31 March 1547 until his death in 1559. He was married to Catherine d'Medici and his mistress was the famous Diane de Poitiers to whom he gifted the lovely Château de Chenonceau famously reclaimed by Catherine at Henri's death in 1559. Diane was left with Château de Chaumont. In the chapel at the end of the exhibit, there was a tv screen running a short movie on Henri II and life during his reign.

Ceiling of the Ionic Temple at Rievaulx Terrace (seen in a mirror) by Beausoleil
Rievaulx Terrace, located in the North York Moors National Park, overlooks Rievaulx Abbey and is owned by the National Trust. The half-mile long grass terrace follows a serpentine course along a wooded escarpment designed to give multiple views of the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey. There are two mid 18th century temples including the Ionic Temple, intended as a banqueting house, with elaborate ceiling paintings and fine 18th century furniture and the Tuscan Temple at the far end. The Ionic Temple, probably designed by Sir Thomas Robinson was fashioned after the Maison Carrée at Nimes, France and possibly the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. It is named for its Ionic columns. The basement was formerly the kitchen for the dining room above. More recently it is a small museum included on the Temple tour.

Château de Beauregard by Beausoleil
The Château de Beauregard is a Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France and is slightly north of the village of Cellettes. The ruins of a chapel, prior to the fifteenth century, are still visible in the park and have stone carvings of the shell of the pilgrims going to Saint Jacques de Compostela in Spain. The most impressive part of the castle is the Gallery of Portraits where the walls are decorated with 327 portraits of famous people who lived between 1328 (date of the beginning of the reign of Philippe VI of France) and 1643 (death of Louis XIII). The floor is decorated with 5500 Delft tiles so you can look up or down and be impressed. The ceiling is also brilliantly decorated with the use of lapis lazuli paint for the blue. At the time it was done, the lapis lazuli cost more than gold so it is a very expensive ceiling. The gardens are extensive and themed. The outstanding feature (to us) was the 14th century chapel which was located on the route of St Jacques de Compostela. On the side you will find carved stone shells of Saint Jacques. The chapel is, unfortunately, in ruins. Inside, two plaques commemorate Count Alain du Pavillon and one of his sons.

Château de Beauregard Cabinet of the Bells (Cabinet des Grelots) by Beausoleil
Created by Francesco Scibec de Carpi, famous cabinetmaker of King Henry II, it owes its name to the bell, escutcheon of the Thier family, which is used as a motif of ornamentation. The Château de Beauregard is a Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France and is slightly north of the village of Cellettes. The ruins of a chapel, prior to the fifteenth century, are still visible in the park and have stone carvings of the shell of the pilgrims going to Saint Jacques de Compostela in Spain.

Château de Cheverny by Beausoleil
The Château de Cheverny has been continuously occupied for 600 years. There have been renovations, but it has always been a home to the family so the rooms are all furnished, many opulently. There are magnificent works of art including paintings, tapestries and statues so it's one of the more exciting châteaux to visit in the Loire. The gardens are very nice but do not rival Chaumont or Villandry. There are activities for children and a special (extra fee) museum for fans of Tin Tin. You can also observe the feeding of the hounds nearly every day except the odd times during hunting season when they are working. Check the web site for feeding times and dates. If you really want to see a superb performance at feeding time, drive to the Abbaye du Val des Choues where their hounds are exceptionally well trained.

Ornate ceiling at the Château de Cheverny by Beausoleil
When you go in, look up. The ceilings, especially downstairs, are spectacular. Also be sure not to trip over other people who are looking up and will walk right into you. It is a very dramatic start to your tour of the castle.
