Not great for children. The gardens are great and the chateau is beautiful but I would not recommend this to kids (apart from the gardens.) We had two audioguides (and I speak fluent French so was happy to read the signs) but found the information incredibly unengaging. This is a period of history I am not very familiar with, and I left having not been able to learn anything really. My husband had my small son (3) on his shoulders so he wouldn’t touch anything (as there is NOTHING for children to engage with while the adults are reading the tiny signs) - three members of staff came rushing up to us to tell us that this is forbidden. As pushchairs and slings are not permitted, we had to wrestle our three year old around the palace, trying to explain why he couldn’t touch anything - we go to museums and galleries every week and have never had this issue before. I also struggled to find the audioguide points in each room, so this was mostly useless. A couple of rooms had an audio guide for ‘jeunes’ which I thought my 5 year old would enjoy, but when I listened to them, they were incredibly dull. In short - the gardens are beautiful - the museum is well maintained and well staffed, but it is not a friendly or fun place for families. Pay your ticket entry and trot around, but don’t expect to really learn anything if you’ve got kids with you! Top tip - The museum at the Cloitres in the town is AMAZING! It’s totally free, the lady who was in charge was so friendly and sweet with the children. They had a booklet with lots of activities to do, which my 5 year old really enjoyed. Although the museum is tiny, we spent a very happy 90mins there and came away having learned loads ☺️

A beautiful place. The park is definitely worth the detour

I don't usually pay to go into castles as generally I'm happy enough with the outside. But this one was well worth the 10 Euros. Plus, the garden is amazing.
