A lesson in symmetry...

Château de Cheverny with its famous symmetrical facade
At Château de Cheverny, evenly spaced windows create one of the Loire Valley’s most elegant façades. The formal balance continues around the building, giving the château its famously composed appearance.

Château de Cheverny in the Loire Valley with a symmetrical pale stone façade, tall shuttered windows, domed roofs and green lawn.

Château de Cheverny has remained in the same family for more than six centuries and its interiors are among the best preserved in the Loire Valley The château is also said to have inspired Marlinspike Hall in 'The Adventures of Tintin'.


“Through every window, the Loire breathes — calm, patient, and quietly luminous.”

Part of the “Windows of the Loire” Series

Each Wednesday, we share a glimpse of the Loire Valley through its windows — small frames of everyday beauty and quiet reflection.
