We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Château. We were we were taken on an extensive tour by a very well-informed guide really brought life to the castle. The gardens were beautiful as was village.
Wonderful privately owned chateau with an impressive history. Reasonably priced at €9.80 and although the guided tour was in French we were given an English translation to read and return. The guide was able to take questions in English.
We visited the chateau during our stay in the area, lovely setting and the inside of the chateau was beautiful. The rooms we saw were beautifully furnished with some very interesting historical artefacts. The guide, Thomas, was very good and ensured that the non french speakers in the party got to know the most relevant information relating to the tour. There was also a very comprehensive guide in English that was very well written and contained lots of interesting facts.
We visited this chateau at the end of our holiday in Fance. We were told that all visitors had to tae part in the guided tour which was only conducted in French but we were given a large A4 folder of typewritten information. The guide was very talkative and spoke French atsuch a speed that even some French people had difficulty in keeping up with her. We read our information but it was impossible to look at the items inside the chateau and some of the ones we heard the guide talking about were not even mentioned in our guide.At the end of the tour the French people were given information bout visiting extra rooms but the guide totaly ignored us and we were so fed up by this time, we decided to give it a miss.There are many more interesting and visitor-frindly chateaux in the area and I would recommend givin this one a miss.
Very helpful and informed guide with excellent English. Beautiful gardens. We didnt do the tour as it was in French but plenty to see in gardens.Tasted wines and bought 3 cases only to discover that there was an offer with 3 cases and we got another free!!
Gorgeous small chateau with fabulous church as well. Grounds are lovely and they also have their own vineyard with great wines - the family still live there so feels 'alive'. Well worth the visit
Nice views of village and river below. They have tours of old part of chateau only, but the tourguide was pleasant and did a good job on the history and its important role in Anjou. The gardens are small but pleasant and varied. Impressive Lebanese cedar in courtyard.
We had a great guided tour of the chateau in English. The guide was jolly and the tour was very interesting and amusing.
The interesting thing about this chateau is that it is still currently occupied. The only way to see it is via a guided tour and these are only at certain times, so before you drive out there make sure you know what time the tour is. That said, it's a little difficult to follow if you don't speak French. They have small booklets they hand out to those of us who do not speak French so we could follow along. But they are very lengthy and a lot of reading and you find yourself looking down at the pages rather than at the sights. The guide did stop every so often and ask us (and several other English speakers), in English, if we had questions. The booklet was very informative, just a LOT to follow while trying to follow the tour at the same time. The chateau also makes its own wine which you can taste, and purchase.
This was spectacular, we joined a tour with a guidebook in English, which was really interesting. The interior decor was first class. There is a wide variety of restaurants and kayaking on the river. It is a lovely town.
