Cheverny is a castle near to
our town Blois. It was never a royal castle like Blois or Chambord
castle, but it was the property of a noble family, the Huraults. And 600
years after, it’s still the property of the same family, which is a
rarety in Loire Valley.
The castle
The
castle interior is really nice and well furnished. The most impressive
for the children is the Arms Room, the greatest room of the castle,
full of armours, swords and all possible medieval weapons. All rooms and
objects are perfectly preserved.

For
the amusement of children, the castle proposes a Mystery Game. The
children will have to use their memory and their sense of observation
the answer several questions, and to find the solution of the final
enigma.

owners have a pack of hunting dogs, near 100 hundred beats. Your
children will be real surprised to see so many dogs in one time. The dogs are fed at 11.30 am, and it ever a fun time.
