For that reason Loire Valley Castles We will get to know this place together as the second castle of our article series.
Approximately 200 km from Paris Cheverny Castle, located in the distance from the toll highway If you drive on a road without traffic You can reach it in 2 – 2,5 hours with your private vehicle. which I I recommend you to go with a private vehicle to be free throughout your entire trip. Loire Valley Castles Tourfirst to Chambord CastleConsidering that you start from Chambord CastleIt is possible to reach Cheverny Castle from 20-25 minutes with your own car, because the two castles are only 20 kilometers away from each other.
Of course, you will have more freedom if you go by car. Driving in Paris It is torture, but driving around Paris, especially going to such castles, can be enjoyable. My most important advice to those who will rent a car is to choose a vehicle with GPS or to bring their own navigation device. Of course, if you have an international internet package on your mobile phone, your job is easier... Since the roads in France are unbelievably complicated - even for someone like me who has a strong sense of direction and ability to read a map. navigation devices and map applications are lifesavers.

For this by train in paris Austerlitz Train Station – Gare d'AusterlitzYou need to take the train from and your train ticket TCDD of France one SNCFFrom the official website of we can get it..

As the place of departure Blois, you can also type Cheverny as your destination and see the hours. I Loire Valley CastlesI have always traveled around by private vehicle, but I just want to offer public transportation options for those who do not have this opportunity. I don't know much about public transportation details. unfortunately. If you manage to organize yourself by purchasing information or tickets from the links I provided, you can have a beautiful castle valley tour. You even have the option of cycling, because special bicycle routes have been created for the valley region.
I've been to Cheverny Castle twice so far. my first trip June 2014′It was there, it was my second trip August 2017'also. I have to admit, I can't say that I was very impressed the first time I went, but for some reason it fascinated me even more the second time I went. Loire Valley CastlesWhile visiting , there is a problem: There are so many castles that one gets confused about which one to visit and which one to like; after a while people gets tired of liking 🙂 Cheverny Castle seems relatively small compared to other castles, but it is perhaps the castle with the best preserved interior. That's why I think you will be impressed from the inside rather than the outside.
When you reach Cheverny Castle, you can leave your car in the parking lot right in front. If there is no space there, there is a larger parking area a little further ahead. Cheverny The town is a small place anyway. There are boutiques at the entrance of the castle where you can buy wine and souvenirs. There are usually long queues in front of the ticket office of the castle. I hope you enjoy your trip Chambord CastleYou started with and as I mentioned there, it covers several castles. combined ticket You must be able to find it, otherwise you have to wait a long time in the ticket line. If you have a combination ticket that you have previously purchased or if you have purchased your ticket online, you can wait in the ticket queue. by-pass You pass by and enter the magnificent garden of Cheverny Castle…
Cheverny Castle, the construction of which started in 1624 and was completed in 1634, next to many magnificent castles in the Loire Valley homey staying. In fact, the French do not use the word chateau only in the sense we understand it. When we think of a castle, we think of a castle built on steep rocks, with bastions and towers. pencil-like structures we dream but The word chateau in French both for those structures and mansion-like It is also used for such palaces. As for those towered castles fortified castle It's called more.
Depending on the weather, it is also nice to visit the huge garden, but I think it would be better to start your trip by going inside Cheverny Castle. When you enter the main door If you proceed by following the visit direction arrows, you will have a much more productive trip.. By turning right at the entrance, you immediately realize what a beautiful building you are in. When you enter the gallery on the right, the first room on the left is the dining room and it is incredibly beautiful.
Cheverny Castle has a story of nearly four hundred years, but there were other buildings on the land before. This is why I say this: This land has been in the hands of the same family for six centuries.… Although it changed hands twice for short periods of time, the remaining members of the family soon managed to regain possession of the castle and Cheverny Castle still belongs to the Hurault family; that is, private property. Moreover, this castle The first private chateau opened to visitors in the Loire Valley has the feature of being.
Cheverny Castle is open to visitors every day of the year, with exceptions. But it is stated that it has only been closed for three days so far: The first was in 1963, when the Queen Mother of England stayed in the castle, the second was in 1976, during the funeral ceremony of the Marquise of Vibraye, and the third was in 1976, when the wedding ceremonies of the current owners of the castle were held. :) Once you have a castle, it is not open to public visits. Even if you open it, you can close your doors to visitors on some special days :) current information and ticket prices Don't forget to check out the official web page link at the end of the article 😉
The last time we visited Cheverny Castle, we had a very beautiful view. lego exhibition and it was a very nice experience to encounter interesting Legos in every room of the castle. In addition, periodic exhibitions are held in the castle, and there is also a permanent exhibition that you can visit with an additional ticket. Les Secrets de Moulinsart – The Secrets of Moulinsart judicial Tintin Exhibition there.
Although we all know the Tintin comic strip, this character, whom we have known as Tintin for forty years, is written as Tintin in French, and is neither read as "tinten" nor as "tintin", with the mouth open to the side.tantan" I was so surprised when I learned that it was pronounced as " after I settled in Paris :) Here it is in that comic book Moulinsart, the castle where Captain Haddock resides with the professor, was inspired by Cheverny Castle. the creator of this comic Hergé by. That permanent exhibition is in the building on the left when you first enter the garden of the castle. That's why we continue to tour the inside of the castle for now.
Cheverny Castle a living castle Therefore, it is full of goods. Although your castle tours in France are generally extremely magnificent, room room stone wall You will see, even if you see objects, they are exhibited like a museum. It's like if he's here It's like a neighbor visiting you feel; Of course, your neighbor is a little rich :) You can also experience the same feeling. Montresor Castle'I also experienced it while traveling. Because it is a castle that is lived in.
When you finish the ground floor and go up those beautiful stone stairs, you first reach the large hall. There are knight armors, swords and beautiful paintings here. The large bedroom right next door is not a very interesting or interesting place, but an extremely gloomy place. The walls are covered with dark carpets, it is extremely depressing. If you ask king room But I could never sleep in such a place; The curtains will be wide open in my bedroom, and the moonrise will be watched from where I sleep at night. No, no, I am not a capricious person; I live in Koşuyolu, Istanbul. Pink House it was. Ohhh 🙂
One of the parts of the castle that impressed me the most children's room. When you see the life here, you think about what it feels like to be a child here. No, it's not like I want to be in the shoes of a child who grew up here. Thank God, I had a peaceful and extremely happy childhood in a middle-class family; Mine is a thought on the inequality and injustice of income distribution in the world. Otherwise, of course, every child has the right to grow up like this, but when equality is considered, generally equalizing people in poverty I noticed something like this during my last trip to Cuba.
On the top floor of Cheverny Castle, you can only see the chapel, and that is from the door. There is a queue at the door, but it is worth waiting a little and taking a look inside. When a person becomes very rich, he naturally builds his own place of worship inside his own house :) Well, how can you forgive so many sins? There is a story, I remember it as the words of a mafia boss: “When I was a kid, I prayed every night for God to give me a bicycle. Then one day I realized that wasn't the way God worked. One day I stole a bicycle and prayed every night to God to forgive me... "
After visiting the chapel section, you go down the stairs, take a tour downstairs and go to the backyard; The road is already leading you there. The backyard is gorgeous. Small The fountain pool, lush green road, colorful flowers depending on the season or crazy autumn leaves offer you a false paradise on earth. A great place just down the road orangery there.
Those who follow my articles regularly, this is me orangery They know how sensitive I am about this. I can't forget the day I sat drinking tea and eating cake at The Orangery in Kensington Garden in London. That environment, that light. Although I haven't seen anything as beautiful as that place yet. How nice it used to be Compiègne Castlein Café Jardin des Roses It was working for me, but it was also closed. Cheverny Castle orangeryIt's also very nice, but it's not very close to Paris, so when it comes to mind, we can go and eat and drink something :) That's why I recommend you to sit and eat and drink something here while you have the opportunity - of course, if there is room. Otherwise, when you leave the castle, Cheverny (şöverni or Şöveğni) in the town One or two nice places to eat there.
What you will do next, weather permitting, is to visit the magnificent garden of the castle. Like that Palace of Versailles Don't expect a place like a garden, but I think this is a much more real, much more beautiful place. Besides picnick is also possible. You can take a walk around a small pond or get lost among the greenery. Huge trees, the castle visible in the distance, green, green, green, peace, peace, peace.
Cheverny CastleAnother feature of famous for its hunting dogs to be. Well of course some sort of noble sport hunting, which I am against with all my being. dispute More precisely, since their slaughter was very important in those centuries, there was a tradition of breeding hunting dogs here, and this tradition still continues. If you're interested, there is also a hunting dog show, but since the subject doesn't interest me, I didn't even bother researching it. I just went to the dog shelters and took photos for you. Loving a dog is one thing, hunting is another. We are in the 21st century, what is hunting?
After you finish your castle tour, you can taste wine at the wine tasting center at the exit and buy Cheverny wines. As I said, you can try one of the few places in the castle or in town to eat or BloisYou can go to and eat there. Already in Blois Blois CastleYou can't do it without visiting, before coming here.
