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.

the château, gardens and stables I didn't appreciate the works in nature, which were sometimes even rusty and of no interest whatsoever when I see that some people go to art school to produce such things, it's shameful.
