Inspired by one of the most beautiful castles in the Loire Valley, Hergé created Marlinspike Hall..

 

Since its first appearance in "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham’s Treasure", Marlinspike Hall has become a haven of peace and a home base for Tintin and his friends. This special relationship has encouraged the Cheverny estate and the Hergé Foundation to come together to create a permanent exhibition called the Secrets of Marlinspike Hall.

Open since the 27th June 2001. World premier: Tintin’s room
