We got a bit lost in getting to the castle (not expecting it in the centre of town) but a nice…read morelocal helped us as we tried to locate the closest drop off point for a person with mobility issues. That unknown stranger actually crossed the street with me in an extra effort to be helpful. That experience was quickly followed by three more good luck happenings. 1 we found handicap parking FREE (Mondays ) directly in from if the front palace gate as in cross street you are at the palace. 2.

The tapestries and grands salons are AMAZING. I couldn't help but marvel at the size of the royals entourage made clear by the many many additional chairs and stools in various rooms you might otherwise think a bit private. You could also see their stations given the height of chairs and proximity to the royals. Some things were highly valued like the council room and others not so much like the teeny tiny bath room (a closet) that housed an extra small muslin lined copper tub (1/2 size of a modern tub) and a bowl-basin- toilet. The gardens were a bit disappointing in that they were not wheelchair accessible and I was expecting an English garden filled with assorted flowers but it was a big expanse of grass with a few nice sculptures. All in all a lovely castle to explore.

Loved this place. Unlike some of the tourist traps this place was nice and peaceful. We really…read moreenjoyed the Chateau and the gardens. The little cafe in the gardens was very nice as well
