Camping in Cheverny
Cheverny: a château like no other
Among all the châteaux of the Loire Valley, Cheverny stands out for its classic elegance and warm atmosphere. As soon as you step through the gates, you realize that this is no ordinary chateau. Its symmetrical architecture, light-colored facades and verdant grounds make it a real postcard.
Located just a few kilometers from Blois, Cheverny was one of the first châteaux to be opened to the public, and it remains one of the best furnished. Unlike other grand mansions frozen in time, here you can feel a real life, a history that’s still very much alive. That’s probably why you feel so at home here.
A captivating visitfor the whole family
At Cheverny, every room tells a story. From the richly decorated dining room to the king’s bedroom and the armory, everything is meticulously maintained. The furniture, the paintings, the tapestries… it’s like stepping back in time a few centuries.
But Cheverny‘s unique charm also lies in its anecdotes and little surprises. Did you know, for example, that it was this château that inspired Moulinsart, Captain Haddock’s famous estate in the adventures of Tintin? Fans can also visit an exhibition dedicated to Tintin, much appreciated by children… and adults alike!
