Introduction

Château de Cheverny is located in the Loire Valley and is one of the most luxurious castles in the region, famous for its exquisite decoration and furniture. Although it may not be as grand as Château de Chambord or as soft as Château de Chenonceau, the interior details and room layout of the castle are remarkable. The furniture is also a valuable art collection, and walking through it feels like stepping back into the court life of the 16th century. What's more, it is not just a tourist attraction, but also houses a count and his family, allowing visitors to experience castle life more authentically. Additionally, if you are a fan of "The Adventures of Tintin," you will feel a sense of familiarity here because the author, Hergé, obtained inspiration for Marlinspike Hall from this castle and displayed exhibits related to the comic character Tintin. Travelers who love Tintin should not miss this rare opportunity!
