I knew very little about this wonderful Chateau and it's wonderful art and nature displays. My wife and I were recommended to visit after we had visited many of the other famous Chateaus and gardens. This was likely our favorite and would have liked to spend more time in the gardens exploring . Well done.

We loved it. Spent the whole day there. Only discovered that we could borrow an iPad with English info in the afternoon. The young lady in the morning told us that no such thing existed.
