How Much For That Chateux Over There?

Welcome to the land of castles and a new wardrobe near Tours in France.

The picture shows the Chateaux at Cheverny, which inspired Herge to create Captain Haddock's "Marlinspike Hall" in the comic book "Tin Tin". It was built in the 5th Century by Hurault Family who were financiers to 5 French kings - the descendants still own it!
