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.

Impressive, well-preserved castle and surroundings and excellent services make the visit even more enjoyable. By buying our tickets in advance on Headout, we avoided the uncertainties of availability and waiting. A simple procedure that's well worth the effort.

In some castles minors need tickets and I had not had the opportunity to purchase them online. At the chenceanu they let in at set times, there is no such thing as free entry without a timetable, so you struggle to organize your day with misinformation

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.
