Château de Talcy, Loir-et-Cher, France. Although the château de Talcy already existed in the 13th century, the château as we know it today owes a lot to the family of Florentine banker Bernard Salviati, who bought it in 1517. It was to Salviati's daughter Cassandre that Pierre de Ronsard dedicated the lines of his famous poem "À Cassandre". The château became state property in 1933.
