Please help me name this Loire Chateaux

Can anyone in the Rick Steves community name the Loire Chateaux where these photos were taken? These are from our 2003 trip, and I have never been able to figure out where it was. It was in the general vicinity of Chenonceaux, since that was where we stayed on that trip.

It was a smaller, castle style Chateaux, not on the water. I have Googled extensively in hopes of figuring it out, to no avail.

This is a total guess. Could it be Langeais?

Looks like Wil is correct, Fougeres-sur-Brievre.

Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre: I think you are right, it's near Cheverny which was back to back with it on the pictures. Thanks very much for helping me to solve the mystery! This is not to be confused with the other chateaux bearing the name Fougeres, which is quite some distance away. My wife and I have visited lots of the regions of France on two separate trips (plus two more where we combined Paris as an add-on to destinations in England and Italy). Remembering our brief time in the Loire makes me want to go back - as with so many other parts of France.
