Cheverny in April 2004







Cheverny frappe d'emblée par ses proportions harmonieuses, fondées sur un jeu de symétries, [et par] son intérieur : lambris peints, plafonds à caissons, tapisseries d'une sublime fraîcheur et tableaux de maîtres, le tout somptueusement meublé, dans un état de conservation parfaite.


—So says the Michelin green guide to the châteaux de la Loire.

  1. Oh, I love that door knocker! It would be nice to live for several months in the Val de Loire, and go see all of these interesting châteaux, spread out over time. I think I show some other pretty interior photos of yours, from Cheverny, to my students, when I'm introducing the châteaux. It's really pretty inside.

    1. I have a hard time believing Walt and I have been here nearly 20 years already. One day we'll get out more to see more of the region or of others.

  2. Some new vocab: lambris (panelling - new), à caissons (coffered - new!) Merci, Ken!
