Hound dogs.
Next stop in the Loire Valley was Château Cheverny (from the region where they also do a lovely drop of Cheverny white wine).
This Château is somewhat smaller than Chaumont and is known for its decadent furnishings, manicured grounds and its 90 hound dogs which regularly partake in the hunting in the nearby forest.
Felix was woken from his 2 hour afternoon nap to the sound of the hounds and promptly starting 'wwoooofffing' with them. He was quite engrossed by them.
Understandably so, as I don't think he has ever seen so many dogs in one place.
Eventually we made it away from the hounds and Felix decided to inspect the stones at this Château and see if they were up to scratch (with some help from Nanny).
Definitely better than the stones one finds in Paris and again the backdrop - sublime!!

I was just reading this post with the little master on my lap and when we came to the shot of the hounds Felix pointed and called out
"woof" "woof"
Must have fond memories of the moment. It looked like a fantastic castle. What a shame Daddy was stuck in the dodgy cafe doing work.
Excellent ! Felix barks too ! We can make a good duet next time he comes to Vence, or even in Paris for that matter, provided Aunty Caitlin is not present, sh'll die of embarrassemnt !
Has anyone seen that many dogs in one spot!
