Loire Valley castles: Cheverny


A last castle for you, Cheverny. This castle was used as the model for the castle in the Tintin books. You can see some memorabilia from the comic series inside the castle. Photo taken in August 2005.

  5. Halcyon, thanks so much for your visits when I was traveling and then down with the flu. It was a nice and friendly feeling to see your name come in on e-mail on my phone. I have not been to the Loire Valley, but it's certainly on my list!

  6. Ah, yes, Cheverny is a great place. It is perhaps the neatest one, with not a single pebble out of place.

    Re the Elbow Room, maybe their menu would be called creative American and Italian, ranging across most usual foods but with some extra imagination.
