Spend a leisurely morning exploring Château de Cheverny, a pristine 17th-century Loire Valley castle still owned by the Hurault family after six centuries. Wander through richly furnished period rooms adorned with Gobelins tapestries and paintings from the school of Raphael, then stroll the 100-hectare English-style park with its centuries-old cedars and seasonal gardens. Tintin fans will recognize the castle as the inspiration for Moulinsart — a permanent immersive exhibition brings the comic connection to life. Arrive before 11:30 to catch the daily feeding ceremony of the resident pack of nearly 100 Anglo-French hounds. Hours vary by season, with winter closing at 17:00 and summer extending to 18:30; no advance booking is needed as tickets are sold on-site only.
