    Magnificent place! Huge park. Pitty that the castle was closed and with signs of no entrance around the garden! I mean i came from far to see it but not possible. Anyway i saw the park around the castle and was worth the visit. MAGNIFIQUE

    On a sunny day in the middle of the summer, the place seemed a corner of paradise. There were many children and families playing around, a charming packed cafe, the park perfectly looked after. It just seemed like a lively and yet peaceful spot to spend some time in the afternoon. For me, it was perfect just to have a walk through whilst in the area.
