Chateau Cheverny, with its
current outside look, was finished in 1630. It was built on the
foundations of a previous fortified castle. The Hurault family opened
the Chateau to the public in 1914 and it remains a premier tourist
place to visit.
The garden area and
outbuildings are in excellent shape. The multicolored lines in the garden
are crushed glass.
They even have koi fish in
these pools for winter storage.
Myself and my wife liked
the slate tablets that are used for marking the plants nearby.
The pathway in front of
the Chateau uses the same gravel that I would like in front of my
mansion…sigh...if i had one.
Around back, it has the
remnants of the old moat but as you can see with the car, it acts as
a driveway now.
The gardens out back will
look amazing in the spring and summer.
This is the estate’s
Orangery which has been altered to be used as a little conference
center.
