  • Great surprise

    very impressive location, owned by the same family since 23 generations! current owner is doing a great job with keeping the chateau alive. we did the escape game (setting is the old kitchen!), followed by a visit of the old part of the building and had a nice chat with the owner at end.

  • Nice for a bit of history

    Lovely history about the chateau, the fact its in the same family still is incredible. The building itself is lovely, staff very informative and helpful. The children enjoyed having a look around the gardens and Orangery.
