The beautiful interior design of the castle of Cheverny is the work of Jean Monier, from nearby Blois. He was supported by Marie de Medicis who sent him to Italy to perfect his talent. Upon his return to France, Marie de Médicis employed him at the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. He then returned to his home town of Blois as a successful artisan, when he was asked to work wonders at Cheverny.
