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.
So clean and the gardens were so lovely. The castle was enjoyable too. The flowers were beautiful
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.

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.

Ticketing was very easy online. The site was incredible - could have spent days instead of hours. We saw a lot and learned a lot. Thanks.
The film explaining the history of the château, the explanatory panels in all the rooms, the exhibition of paintings and the temporary exhibition of the Japanese artist
