The Disney-esque Château de Chenonceau was a gift from Henry II to Diane de Poitiers, spanning the river Cher it is a bold mixture of renaissance and gothic architecture. There is also a maze in the gardens should you really wish to get lost together.

Miroir d’eau/ Miroir des Quais

Found in Bordeaux, unlike the other places on this list it hasn’t been around long. The water mirror is a mere 21 years old, yet what it lacks in age it makes up for in alarming beauty. The world’s largest reflective pool is situated in front of the Place de la Bourse and in our opinion there are two times you simply must see it, during the day, in the height of summer when it’s unique system enables it to create a fog every fifteen minutes, or in the dead of night when The Place De la Bourse is perfectly reflected in the still, mystical waters.
