The Château de Brissac in the commune of Brissac-Quincé, in the département of Maine-et-Loire, France, was originally built as a fortified castle by the Counts of Anjou in the 11th century.
I couldn’t find any info about this castle. I did a research but everything is in French… so if you know something, please share… I’ll try to tell whatever I remember from the guided tour, but I wouldn’t bet on accuracy. This place is somewhat closed for tourists - while visiting I only saw two tourist cars, and it’s off the map of all major tourist agencies.
Cheverny Castle hunting dogs - They are trained intensively, taken out for hunt twice a week. I visited the castle during noon, it was hot, so on the photo most of them are chilling on the sun or sleeping. I heard it’s fun to watch them during feeding time - so well trained not a single one touches the food until told to.
The Château de Cheverny is located at Cheverny, in the département of Loir-et-Cher in the Loire Valley in France.
Chateau is open to the public since 1914. The family still operates it, and Château Cheverny remains a top tourist attraction to this day, renowned for magnificent interiors and its collection of furniture, tapestries, and objets d’art.
This is a collection of wallpapers from different castles around France. Considering the fact that through centuries colors have tainted and quality degraded, I think visually most of them are still appealing - and it’s possible to see through original royal luxury.
I found this screaming demon statues while traveling to France, I don’t exactly remember which castle it was… these little things are quite expressive and scary.
