Wonderful family owned chateau in a sweet little town. Worth a short visit or day trip. (Many ex-pats in town so english is not a problem)

A beautiful castle to walk through, when asked, the tour guide kindly gave us a folder with the English translation of the tour notes given by the friendly guide. We were able to mostly follow what was being presented. A stunning little village. Definitely one to see.

The Château is well maintained and the guided tour is well organized, we felt like we’ve seen the whole château inside & out (with the secret passage ?. Totally worth a visit if you’re around this area.

Access by guided tour only but reasonably priced. Tour was in French but booklets provided in English with most of the same info. Castle itself is impressive and very well maintained.

Beautiful castle, that's still lived in. Not allowed to photograph (which was okay). But one pet peeve about French tourist attractions is the lack of English explanations. You're guided through the castle, which is great. The guide talked a lot but never translated anything in English (while he could speak English). We got a list of stuff we could see, but it only said: chest, XVIth century. The guide obviously explained much, much more about it. So all this was wasted on us, which was a real pity. It doesn't have to be long, but just a little effort to try would make it much better. While I understand that not all castles can have guided tours by tablet like Chateau Guillaume-le-Conquérant in Falaise, even a longer handout would improve it or take the time to translate.
