Diane's Garden is beautiful and the Medici Gallery was wonderful describing all aspects of the chateau's fascinating history. We biked from Vouvray and had a great visit. The creperie/sandwich shop was disappointing with extremely slow service, long line, and they ran out of several items at lunch. There also aren't any water fill stations on the grounds.

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.
