The Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil is included in Time's annual list of the 100 most beautiful places in the world

Today, TIME unveils the third annual World's Most Beautiful Places list, highlighting 100 extraordinary travel destinations around the world.

To compile this list, TIME solicited selections of places - including countries, regions, cities and towns - from its international network of correspondents and contributors, with an eye toward those that offer new and exciting experiences.

The Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil was presented as one of the exciting new experiences in the Loire Valley, which merited a place on this year's list.
