Our visit to the Château de Cheverny by motorhome, one of the essentials on the trip to Castles de la Loire by motorhome
Let's go for the last castle on our little journey, but the most special of all, especially for the little ones. The Castle of Cheverny. This Castle is endearing, thanks to its permanent exhibition of the best known reporter in the world of comics "TIN TIN".
From the perfect balance of its façades to the details of its sumptuous interiors, Château de Cheverny perfectly embodies the French style. Surrounded by a majestic botanical park, Cheverny is a haven of stillness and peace that has been in the hands of the same family for six centuries. The members of the family have preserved it respecting tradition but without being pigeonholed in the past, which they demonstrate with the permanent exhibition on the adventures of the world's most famous reporter Tin Tin. Hergé, cartoonist and creator of the adventures of Tintin, was inspired by him to design the residence of Captain Haddock and his friends Tintin and Professor Calculus. For those of you who want to see a chapter of Tintin and recognize the castle, in the animation of the drawings it is the Moulinsart Castle.
The visit to Tintin Castle by motorhome
Tintin's exhibition is called "The Secrets of Moulinsart" and relates with different situations some of the adventures of the famous characters. It is not difficult to recognize some scenes from the exhibition if you have done your homework, as we have done with the little ones. It is a motivation for them to recognize different situations that they have seen previously on TV. If you go with children it is a must and if you know the adventures of Tintin even more.
At the entrance of the exhibition they give you a triptych that explains, in a very brief way, the ins and outs of the exhibition. I recommend spending at least one hour to enjoy the spaces and be able to interact with them.
The kennels of the Château de Cheverny
Afterés to enjoy our
children's stop we go to visit the kennels of the Castle of Cheverny.
The Hurault family have been great fans of the
hunting, hence they have 120 dogs of the Braco Franc breedés. The kennels are very cool, yeah
you like dogs like we do. They are huge and they are super quiet and very
affable. My Bruna, great lover of animals, climbed the fences and
They then approached her to receive her caresses, which she gave them
with great taste. In the photo you can't see how big the kennels are
and how delighted he is with lifen all.
The gardens of the Château de Cheverny
Once we left the castle, we went to the back of the Castle where there are part of the gardens and alsoén a bar, where we decided to have a snack to say goodbye to our great trip.
