Chasse & Campagne

On Sunday we visited the ‘Chasse & Campagne’ event at Château de Vaux. The birds of prey who were going to perform later in the day were sitting quietly on their perches as we arrived. They looked so stately.

As we approached the château we could clearly see how well the renovations are progressing. The roof and facade, which were far from finished last year, are looking spectacular.

It was a cool day, with the threat of rain, but it wasn’t affecting what was another very enjoyable event.

We arrived around lunchtime, so took the opportunity to wander around the stalls whilst they were not too busy, before getting some Merguez and chips, always a guilty pleasure and very delicious.

After lunch were the horse and dog displays in the main ring. Such a spectacular sight, watching the packs of dogs chasing around the ring in an organised fashion. They are just delightful.

We watched three teams of horse riders and dogs, before we left for home. It was another lovely day.
