Bedroom of Gabrielle d'Estrées – Chenonceau Castle

A bed of red and gold damask with yellow curtains stands beside a stone fireplace, among large Flemish and Brussels tapestries and a table with a bouquet. The room evokes Gabrielle d'Estrées, favourite of Henri IV; near the bed hangs a 16th-century Flemish tapestry of château life, and the other walls carry the rare 17th-century Brussels set known as the Months of Lucas.
