http://www.vendeuvre.comhttp://www.facebook.com/VendeuvreInside the Chateau, discover a splendid collection of animals : Animals at the dining table, animal shapes, animal amuse us, animals fascinate us, animals love us and animals distinguish us. Terrines in animal shapes (rabbits, ducks, wild boar, crab) and dishes decorated with fish and crustacea are exhibited on tables and sideboards.Humans disguised as animals as mockery : caricatures, cautionary songs (like the Fables of La Fontaine), goldfish swim round their bowls under chandeliers and birds sing. An attractive collection featuring dogs and cats, miniature kennels, porcelain, portraits of our favourite animals, collars and even a dog automaton ! Admire the superb stag with its ten velvet horns in the main staircase. Animals feature in coats of arms symbolizing different families.
