A lovely XVIIth century castle, surrounded by very diverse lavish gardens, some with exotic cultural references, containing a large array of water fountains, columns and statues. Among these, a stunningly beautiful tropical greenhouse. Within the castle building itself, numerous collection items of stuffed animals and insects are to be found on the ground floor, added to appealing stylish bedroom and livingroom furniture, carpets, tapestries, and paintings on the first floor, all belonging to the classical, baroque and rococo periods, most pleasing to the eye. The entrance fee may seem somewhat expensive indeed, yet the visit is well worth making. About three hours or so should suffice to take in the beauty of this location.

Beautiful chateau! The reasons I love Normandy. Great place to take pictures.

Visited the Gardens only, it was so expensive to visit both gardens and chateau. Lovely gardens though, well worth a visit. Apparently there's a Michelin 2-starred restaurant in the chateau as well!

Nice place to visit, really small Versailles in Normandy. Very beautiful garden and chateau. But price of visit is a bit too high, I think - 15 E for garden and 30 E for chateau+garden. And restaurant is expensive also. In shop there are no souvenir magnets, pity

I was not suspecting to find such an interesting place in Normandy. One of the very rare privately owned château in France. Furniture is exquisite and the immense park just amazing. While this is not Versailles, this time capsule of a place is worth the 2 hour drive from Paris.
