About the Loire Valley Châteaux
The Loire Valley in France is an outstanding cultural landscape of great beauty, containing historic towns and villages. These castles (or châteaux) represent a nation of builders starting with the necessary castle fortifications in the 10th century to the splendor of those built half a millennium later. When the French kings began constructing their huge châteaux here, the nobility, not wanting or even daring to be far from the seat of power, followed suit. Their presence in the lush, fertile valley began attracting the very best landscape designers. The magnificent châteaux are cultural monuments that illustrate to an exceptional degree the ideals of the Renaissance and the Age of the Enlightenment on western European thought and design.
About the Château de Cheverny
Renowned as the most elaborately appointed interiors of any of the Chateaux along the Loire, Chateau de Cheverny is still occupied today by descendants of its original owners - the Hurault Family – who rebuilt most of the chateau during the 17th century.
