Château de Cheverny

Our first castle of the trip (probably of many) was the Chateau de Cheverny. It was built in the 17th century and one wing is still lived in by the owner's family. It has several furnished rooms open to the public, beautiful grounds, an orangerie (now a cafe) and 120 hounds used for hunting. There are many lego models inside the chateau, and huge Easter decorations thought the grounds whilst we were there. The chateau was also the inspiration for the Chateau de Moulinsart in the Tintin books and there is a Tintin exhibition open. We also took an electric car and boat tour through the woods and down the canal which was very relaxing.
