Bon week-end ! – Château de Cheverny in full bloom!

One of the most elegant châteaux in the Loire Valley.

Château de Cheverny sits proudly in its park, surrounded by formal gardens and woodland. The château is still lived in by the same family that has owned it for over six centuries, which gives it a particularly warm and lived-in atmosphere. The interiors are richly furnished, and the grounds include beautiful gardens and a pack of hunting dogs that are still used today.

The main draw currently however is the rivers of tulips that sweep through the grounds - a must visit if you have not seen before now.

Bon week-end à tous ! Have a good weekend, everyone! 🇫🇷🏰

Taken in Touraine - spring flowers in the gardens at the Chapelle de Jehan de Seigné, Bléré.

In Bléré, spring settles gently on the grounds of a former graveyard, where bright beds of flowers bring colour to the quiet stone setting. A simple village scene, lifted by the season.

“In Touraine, even the silence tells a story.”

April she comes...

At the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours, the windows look out over carefully kept gardens where spring quietly takes hold. Colour returns to the borders, softening the stone and bringing a gentle contrast to the formal lines of the building.

Happy Wednesday in the Loire Valley!

 

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

Part of the “Windows of the Loire” Series
