The production was one of the very few who have been able to shoot inside the Grand Galerie at the Louvre after the museum was closed at the end of the day.

Was originally constructed as a fortress in the late 12th century

Transformed into a palace for King Francois I in 1546, and later King Louis XIV, it became a museum in 1793

The glass Pyramid rising out of the center of the Cour Napoléon was constructed by Chinese-American architect Ioeh Ming Pei in 1989.

Was designed by Francois Mansart who also designed Chateau de Versailles.
Thing to Do
Tue May 23 6:00pm - Wed May 24 12:00am
Notes
Filming took place over three nights on the grounds of the chateau, though the majority of the interiors (apart from the foyer) were filmed on various sound stages at Shepperton Studios in London.

During WWII Nazi Generals occupied the home.

Dan Brown visited the Chateau three years ago, after owner Olivia Hsu Decker gave him a complete tour he decided he would use the Chateau in the book. Olivia did not find out until after the book was out.

Langdon & Sophie's quest finally ends at Rosslyn Cathedral in Scotland
Thing to Do
Wed May 31 12:00pm - Wed May 31 6:00pm
Notes
Some believe it is the Bible in Stone, some believe the Holy Grail is buried in the chamber underneath.

Some say that Rosslyn Chapel takes its name from this Rose Line though others claim that it comes from the old Scots with Ross meaning hill, and lynn meaning waterfall.
