    Remarkable! .. As announced by its gardens. A beautiful place to visit both wild and perfectly maintained (and in a responsible way, what's more!) A real plus, a guided tour accompanied by an enthusiast! We will be back in the spring when it blooms

    Very beautiful park, 💜 for the basin and its water lilies invite us to contemplation. Too bad we couldn't visit the castle.

    A very beautiful place classified as a remarkable garden and listed in the building of France, a superb restoration of the premises. Fortunately, there are still people so passionate about bringing this old building back to life. The garden rooms are accessible and maintained overall, only work due to its maintenance area. Dovecote, rose garden, French and English garden, labyrinth, medieval vegetable garden, old orchard, enclosure for animals, ponds, shaded picnic area, undergrowth, theater room with concert performance in summer and classical music in ....i forgot..... Congratulations on this beautiful state of operation and conservation....

    Nous sommes surpris que ce lieu ne figurait pas déjà dans Trip Advisor. Vraiment il vaut la peine d'une visite car le travail pour rénover les jardins de ce château sont remarquables. Il y a plus...
