Chambre de Prie, Chateau de Montpoupon
Chambre de Prie, named for a female member of the Prie family who was accused of adultery by her husband and imprisoned here for 15 years in the 16th century, in the Chateau de Montpoupon, built from 1460 by Antoine de Prie on the ruins of earlier medieval fortresses, at Cere-la-Ronde, Indre-et-Loire, France. The room is furnished with a 16th century 4-poster bed with medallion portraits of Francois I and Claude de France, and an ebony table with ivory inlays, 17th century central European. The chateau is owned by the Motte Saint-Pierre family, houses the Musee du Veneur dedicated to hunting with hounds, and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
