Last weekend, we went on a voyage (coach trip) to Chateau Montpoupon, near the city of Tours, so north of here but south of Paris.
The chateau has been in the same family since 1857, although it originally dates to much earlier than that. However, as well as the house itself, there’s a very extensive stable area. The family has a tradition of being very involved in equine activities, especially hunting, as this room (and there are several more like it) illustrates.

What a wonderful photo. π
That’s a while lotta boots.
One of my favorite lines from the episode of the Crown is when Prince Philip tells his daughter that he knows she loves a pair of well-worn boots. Me too. May more of us wear boots!
Love this B&W image. π
