Château de Beauregard is perhaps best known for its Galerie des Illustres. This portrait gallery contains 327 historical portraits. Walking through the gallery can provide you with a lesson in French history, as the portraits are arranged by historical era. The beautiful gallery, with its Delft tiles and painted ceiling, is the centerpiece of a visit to this château. But Château de Beauregard is also set in a beautiful park has has been named a jardin remarquable, or "remarkable garden," a designation established in 2003. You might want to combine a visit to Beauregard with other châteaux in the area, including Cheverny, Chambord, and Blois.
