France - Loire Day 04 - Chateau Chenonceau Kitchens

 Once downstairs in the kitchens, this huge cabinet greets you.
 The large fireplace if flanked on the right by a bakers oven.
 The butcher's area has everything one could want for preparing meats. It even has a hand pump for getting river water.
 Another kitchen area with lots of potted herbs.
 The servants eating area. The apples are real!
 The huge oven was in another area of the kitchens and is a more modern addition. Multiple inner ovens and surfaces for different heats.
The rotisserie is tuned by cranking up a weight, which is outside, and once released the gears change the power of gravity to spin for the rotisserie.
