The Duke of Windsor and Château Candé

Château Candé is one of the unexpected delights of the Loire Valley, especially for English tourists because this is where they lost their King to love. This is where Edward VIII married Wallis Simpson, the woman for whom he gave up everything, his Crown, his country, his family, his very identity of who he was and his place in the world. He seems never to have regretted it. For some, such as he, love comes only once.
