Removed section on WW2 since clearly applies to the Château de Chenonceaux - both the keep and the Chateau at Loches are nowhere near the river. Reprinted below for completeness. - SW

During the second world war part of the castle that goes over the river was in the France that was being controlled
by the Nazis, and the rest of teh castle was in Free France. All someone would have to do to get into Free Frace,
was to swim over to the castle, and climb in one side, walk down the ballroom, and into Free France. Now, as easy
as it seemed, the castle was heavily gaurded and few managed to get over to freedom.
