Description
Old horse-drawn carriage (1850) from the collection of the Château de Chenonceau
A dogcart (or dog-cart) is a light horse-drawn vehicle, with a box behind the driver's seat to contain one or more retriever dogs.
A French version having four wheels and seats set back to back was a dos-à-dos (French for "back-to-back") (infos Wikipedia)

Cette voiture hippomobile, qui pouvait transporter des chiens, est en très bon état et superbe avec ces couleurs.......mais il valait mieux qu'il fasse beau pour l'utiliser.........magnifique prise de vue, Jean-Claude !
J'aime beaucoup ce genre d'antiquité, une page de notre histoire. Merci pour le partage JC
Portez vous bien tous les deux
jolie carriole
Interesting and beautiful capture of this old horse-drawn carriage !!
The SUV of the time :) Cool old carriage!!!
Beautiful capture!
Il ne manque que la partie hippos pour aller faire un tour à l'extérieur du beau château
darn good shape being that old, thanks for sharing this cool photo of it JC. 5++
Always nice to see them in their real settings. Carrages in every way should find their places to the castles where they belong. I did see a collection from over all Europe and often had these thoughts
This is very interesting. I guess these type of carts were used to transfer hunting dogs...I always enjoy learning/seeing something new to me historically-thanks J_C.
You are right, my friend: "A dogcart (or dog-cart) is a light horse-drawn vehicle, originally designed for sporting shooters, with a box behind the driver's seat to contain one or more retriever dogs. The dog box could be converted to a second seat." (Wikipedia)
I like the old carriage, but not the "sporting shooters", so I don't mention them ;) Thanks you for you interest about my images, Barb, take care of you!
A fine looking mode of transportation and a wonderful photo, Jean! Nicely captured!
On the other hand, new horse-drawn carriages are rare.
A horse drawn sled in the snow is way more fun, lol... ❄️❄️❄️
Cela, ça ne polluait pas !
Wonderful old carriage.
J'ai appris tout récemment ( merci la télé !) qu'il existe des habilitations officielles pour pouvoir conduire des calèches comme celle-ci, et que ce mode de déplacement est en pleine recrudescence, en notre 21ème siècle : la nature humaine !!! Une belle photo, J-Claude, merci pour le partage ! 🧑👍
J'irais bien volontiers faire un tour en calèche, merci Jean-Claude!
Thanks for the description. Great catch!
Wow, what an amazing piece of craftsmanship. You present the most interesting pieces. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for sharing. Great photo.
