Chateau Cheverny

We visited a chateau that is still inhabited by the same family since the 1600's. It has a lot of the original furnishings which made it interesting.






The most unusual thing about this place was the fact that it had a working kennel with about 100 hunting hounds which you could visit. There were signs everywhere which said "please don't excite the hounds" Of course the hounds were very excitable and barked like crazy at just everybody! The guy in this vid who comes in with a whip around his neck is the trainer/keeper. All I can say is I feel sorry for the foxes when these guys finally get out for a run. by the way they had a bigger area to their pen than you can see in this video.
