Chateau de Valencay

We visited Chateau de Valencay today with my parents for Sam's birthday, which is tomorrow. I chose this Chateau as it is especially centred around children with a small farm, fantastic playground and a maze. We did a small tour of inside the Chateau, where Sam giggled at the naked statues. It was well worth the drive :)



Peacocks everywhere and Bella had no fear.

Grandad the big kid.
