Château Cheverny series

Here begins a series of photos taken at the Château de Cheverny which is to the east of Amboise.   The château exterior is beautiful itself, but the interior is really one of the most remarkable of all the châteaux in the valley.  As you will see, the furnishings and art work have been chosen with great care to recreate what looks like an actual yet luxurious home still in use.

  2. It is still in use - don't the family still live on the upper floors? When we visited we enjoyed the dogs, and my wife liked the idea of each generation purchasing some new furniture.

  3. I thought you might recognize the place, Thib. Stay tuned, there are more to come.

    I'm not sure where the family resides now, but you may be right Joe that they are on the upper floors. What a place though to live...I'm glad I don't have to dust and vacuum it !
