Cheverny is a great day out. The Chateau is full of amazing and interesting furniture, the hunting pack are entertaining, and because the chateau was the model for Marlinspike Hall in the Tintin comics, there is a Tintin exhibition for kids of all ages.
After Cheverny we went to the Simoneau winery to introduce Kippa and Ben to Loire Valley wines. We also had a chance to sample this year's very new bernache; still sweet and fruity and not very fizzy. The sweetness will fade and the fizziness increase (up to a point), after which stage it becomes almost undrinkable.
We had a great day (even though I am suffering an allergy to all of Monday's dust) and as usual the car atttracted a lot of admiring glances.

Cheverny is one of my preferred Chateau de la Loire!... It must be, as I live in Cheverny (not in the Castle!).
And the chateau and the park are some of my favorite photo subjects ;-)
Simon,
I found your blog thru Ken Broadhurst's blog.
The photos of Cheverny bring back memories of our trip there in June this year. The Traction Avant is also a favorite of mine as I am a founding member of the Citroen Classic owners club of Australia.
I look forward to reading more of your time in France.
