The château de Montpoupon, like others — Chambord, Cheverny — is known for hunting.
There's a hunting museum on the grounds. Photos...

And "hokey" to describe the displays pictured above and below...
I don't know if this horse is stuffed or sculpted.
Look closely and you'll see why I could also have added "Hermès"....
The painting and the Hermès scarf are beautiful. The fake animals and people, not so much.
ReplyDeleteMagnifique Carré Hermès!
ReplyDeleteKen, what is the reason why there are so many Hermès scarves at this château? Do you know?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I wonder if Hermès is a big sponsor of or donor to Montpoupon.6
DeleteIf you want to know, just google Arnaud de Louvencourt and learn who he is and what he does.
DeleteSorry, it is not Arnaud, but Amaury de Louvencourt!
DeleteHermes is amazing. I love the quality of their designs.
ReplyDeleteAs for the first hunting picture, I wouldn't want to be the stag in that.
Me neither.
DeleteThat was my first reaction
