This is Cheverny !!

Posted in Europe, France

As we continue our road warrior visit of the Loire valley and its castles, wines, food, monuments I take you back to Cheverny. We have been here before, see post, but many years ago. It took me great strength to be back with the rest of my family, my 3 boys, my Dad, and our dog Rex; sadly all boys this time. Cheverny is a memorable spot and there will be more to come.  Therefore, here is my take on this is Cheverny !! Hope you enjoy it as I.

The town of Cheverny is located in the department of Loir-et-Cher, 41 in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The architectural heritage of the town includes three buildings included in the inventory of historical monuments: the castle of Cheverny (see post), the castle of Troussay, and the Church of Saint-Étienne.  Cheverny is about 14 kmfrom Blois , and only 1 km from Cour-Cheverny (see post).  The town of Cheverny is located in the area of ​​the protected designation of origin (AOP) of four products: a cheese (Selles-sur-Cher) and three wines Cheverny, Cour-Cheverny and Crémant- de-Loire.

The Hurault de Vibraye family who have owned Château de Cheverny (see posts) for more than six centuries, although not consecutive (the castle was seized by the King in the 16C). The Château de Troussay. The Château du Breuil – now a Hotel-Restaurant. The Church Saint Etienne is a small 12C parish church, firstly restored in the 16C (see post). And even thus it was closed, for the family memories we stopped by and took this another picture of Ristorante Le Pinocchio ) 1 Rue du Chêne des Dames, Cheverny. We ate here many years ago, with my dear late wife Martine and it was a must stop. Picture for the memories of always. The official Le Pinocchio resto: http://www.lepinocchio.fr/

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
