France - Loire day 04 - Chateau de Chaumont Stables

 These stables were commissioned in 1877 under the design of Ernest Sanson. He redid many chateau and was popular amongst the aristocrats. He also redid many of this chateau's rooms and features.

 A stable room with a fake horse at the end.

 The tack room.

 The central courtyard.

 An exercise area for the horses with a modern art soother alien balloon thingy.

 This green art in the courtyard is one I actually like. Its done by Patrick Blanc who is responsible for modernizing and popularizing the concept of a vertical garden.
