Cheverny in autumn

The estate glows in the autumn light

In autumn, Cheverny Castle is adorned with a thousand colours and offers visitors a unique atmosphere that is both warm and spectacular. The golden light of the season enhances the castle's facades and transforms the park into a living painting. Come and enjoy the beautiful autumn days to soak up the colours and mild weather!

Autumn decorations in gardens

Autumn is also the season for spectacular decorations. Every year, the florist's garden is transformed by thousands of carefully arranged pumpkins, squash and chrysanthemums.

Monumental compositions, colourful flowerbeds and plant displays create a festive and poetic atmosphere.

As you leave the castle, take a stroll through the apprentices' garden: around the pond and up to the Orangery, the displays, which are renewed every year, celebrate autumn.

The castle is beautifully decorated.

Inside, the warmth of the wood panelling and tapestries blends perfectly with the autumnal spirit. The large dining room hosts the autumn table with animals from the undergrowth, mushrooms and golden leaves.

The richly furnished rooms take on an even more intimate and welcoming feel, with pumpkins and elegant decorations.

The park takes on flamboyant colours and the bald cypresses turn golden brown.

In the park, the hundred-year-old trees are covered with copper-coloured leaves, while the bald cypresses, a botanical curiosity of the estate, are adorned with a deep orange colour before losing their fine needles.

To fully enjoy this spectacle, there is nothing better than the activity "discovering the park by electric buggy and boat". This gentle, silent ride allows you to admire the natural side of the estate as you glide along the canal lined with glowing trees.

A gourmet break at the Orangerie

Finally, a stop at the Café de l'Orangerie is a must. In this refined setting, you can enjoy a gourmet break with seasonal flavours.

The Orangery also welcomes the magic of autumn, to the delight of young and old alike: this seasonal scene transforms the venue and changes every year.

Marlinspike Hall, an adventure for all seasons!

The exhibition The Secrets of Marlinspike Hall immerses you in the heart of Tintin’s adventures.

Just like in The Secret of the Unicorn, you will find yourself in the château’s underground passages with Tintin.

After escaping, you will discover the different rooms of Captain Haddock’s residence — from the dining room of Marlinspike Hall to Professor Calculus’s laboratory.

▶︎ This unique exhibition in France is presented in collaboration with Tintinimaginatio.
