Bedroom of César de Vendôme – Chenonceau Castle

A red canopied bed and red-upholstered armchairs stand near a monumental gilded fireplace bearing a blue lion on a gold ground, under beams of green and gold. The room recalls César, Duke of Vendôme, son of Henri IV and Gabrielle d'Estrées, owner from 1624; its Renaissance fireplace was gilded and painted in the 19th century with the arms of Thomas Bohier.
