3 stars as there were no proper translation for guided tour. Otherwise castle is spectacular and worth the visit

When you think Château opulence and splendour come to mind.. Not here though.. The tour was long and frankly a waste of time if you're not fluent in French.. The gardens are lacklustre and quite untended.. I'd say skip it for something else.

Beautiful castle has been handed through the same family more than 800 years. The architecture combines 13 to 16 centuries elements with such elegance. The castle visit is done by guided tour. Our guide is a young lady, sorry not be able to recall her name, her explanation was rich, passionate with a lot of humour. We were deeply touched by the relationship between this noble family and the villagers.

Beautiful secluded castle with centuries of interesting history, mythology and art. Special thanks to our guide who also went out of her way to book us a taxi to Caen after the tour.

What a terrible visit on a Sunday afternoon. You can only visit the outside of the castle ( the chapel, the maze and the peacocks) unless you want a guided tour which is only available in french.. but wait there’s a catch, for the guided tour you have to wait another 45 minutes.. how convenient. Probably the ladies preferred to continue their gossip session as we were the only visitors. In addition if you have a discount card, it can only be applied for the guided tours. 1 star for the fake politeness
