"Hands-down, my favorite chateau in the Val de Loire"
"still holds original furnishings to admire throughout"
Watch the hounds get fed at the kennel (seasonal)
Step into a château that feels genuinely lived-in, not museum-frozen. The Hurault family still calls Cheverny home after six centuries, filling its halls with original furniture and the clamor of 100+ hunting dogs. Tintin fans will recognize it instantly as the real-life Marlinspike Hall.
