FRANCE - LOIRE VALLEY - LOIR ET CHER (41) - CASTLE OF CHAMBORD : FRANCOIS 1ST CHASING WILD BOAR. HUNTING HALLS. ITS DECOR IS REMINISCENT OF THE HIGH HUNTING TRADITION OF THE AREA OF CHAMBORD, WHICH FRANCOIS 1ST HAD ERECTED IN "ROYAL CAPTAINCY HUNTS" IN 1547. "FATHER OF THE HUNTSMEN", THE KING IS HERE REPRESENTED ON HORSEBACK, RINGING THE CHARGE WITH HIS HUNTING HORN, WHILE A VALET FINISHES WITH A JERK OF A BOAR CORNERED BY THE DOGS.
