Chateau de Cande, Monts
Site of the marriage between Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII of England following his abdication
This Renaissance château was bought by François Briçonnet, Mayor of Tours and Financer to Louis XII. A beautiful building, most famous for being the site of the marriage between the former King Edward VIII of England and his lover Wallis Simpson. Edward VIII abdicated the throne of England in 1936 after falling in love with the twice-divorced Mrs Wallis Simpson. Given the stigma attached to divorce in England, he decided his position as King would be untenable should he marry her and, rather than lose the woman he loved, he gave up the throne to his brother, changing the course of the British monarchy. This dramatic story is depicted in the Oscar award-winning film The King's Speech.
