Living about a one hour drive from Maintenon, we go there with friends and family quite often. And every time we go back to this castle, we find something we missed during one of our previous visits. And I wll go back again !!!

This lovely chateau is in a beautiful park and as you look down the parterre you see the amazing aqueduct in the distance. It's not huge but beautifully maintained and there is an intereseting history to it. The grounds have recently been replanted and are a picture. When we were there it was fairly quiet so very peaceful. Right next door is a golf course and a park. Definitely worth a detour.

Only 55 minutes by train from Paris' Gare Montparnasse you will arrive at the small town of Maintenon. Cross the small square in front of the station and you will see a sign 'Chateau', continue along that road for about 20 minutes and you will reach the middle of the town. There you will see another sign 'Chateau' and not even an 8-minute walk and there is the chateau. The chateau is small compared to other French castles and so is the park. In the chateau you will see the apartment of Madame de Maintenon and separately that of the King - Louis 14, her lover and then later her husband. (Their marriage was morganatic.)The park, laid out in the French way, is beautiful.In the park you will see the viaduct built on the orders of Louis 14 to carry water to his Versailles Chateau. The viaduct runs through the town and walking to the chateau from the station you will walk alongside it. Have your camera ready.The castle's staff are all friendly people and will reply to any questions you may have.The people of the town too are friendly.After your visit to the chateau you can enjoy a drink or something to eat in any of the restaurants or bistros.I am sure that you would love the Chateau de Maintenon.

We decided to visit Maintenon after reading Ina Caro's book. It is a beautiful chateau. The grounds are lovely, and the aqueduct and the history added to the visit. Our visit was an enjoyable side trip from Chartres. It was not crowded.

This place was great and while I'm doubting I'll be in the area again, i'd go back if I was nearby. It's a bit off of the beaten path in France from the main tourist attractions, but this place had great grounds and a lot of character, and it's not crowded at all.

Wel kept and beautiful gardens if you are in Paris take the train and stop by, not many People around so is nice to visited !

This is a comparatively small chateau, with huge amount of art work. The grounds are gorgeous, with a moat, lots of blue sage and a viaduct. It would be great to be able to buy a book or DVD in English. but there weren't any

Easy day trip from Paris by approximately hourly train service from Gare Montparnasse. Pleasant 10 minute walk through village from station to chateau. Can easily be combined with visit to Chartres, since they are on the same rail line and there are frequent trains between the two communities. Chateau is a jewel with a fascinating history, apartments are beautifully furnished, grounds are meticulous, and the remains of the Vauban viaduct are the icing on the cake. We visited mid-August and it was pleasantly uncrowded. If the throngs at Versailles get you down, try this tranquil and lovely chateau instead. In fact, try it anyway!

Visiting this small chateau requires that you park your car in the small municipal lot in front of the entrance. That requires a local parking card that can be purchased in the nearby shops. Instead of doing that, just go into the chateau entrance and ask for one. They will provide one free (return it when you leave). The chateau began as a castle in the 12th century and morphed into the current form in the 16th century. Although the building appears to be modest, it houses some very beautiful artwork. The adjacent gardens are beautiful and very well maintained.

I enjoyed my visit to this chateau despite getting locked inside (I was the first visitor and they had forgotten to unlock the wooden exit doors so I was trapped between them and the automatic glass doors - luckily I was able to get back into the building and call for help from the balcony!) I had wanted to see this chateau since being impressed with a photo of it many years a go and it certainly lived up to expectations. It is easy to get to - an hourly train service from Paris to Chartres then a walk of not much more than 10 minutes. There are no helpful signs at the station - to go directly to the chateau take the road facing the station building then at the mini roundabout there is a sign (cut across the small park). If you are not in a hurry take the road to the left and you go past the ruins of the aqueduct - then turn right underneath it to reach the mini roundabout. The town has little of interest - a church with some modern stained glass and a tourist office plus a few shops. The castle opens at 10.30 so don't arrive too early as there is little else to do. The formal gardens are small but colourful and the setting is magnificent with views across the water to the aqueduct which you can walk down to. The interior is in two parts - the first section is the area where Madam de Maintenon had her room and the main part consists of the other formal rooms. Most of the interior and some of the outside is 19th cent. renovation or reconstruction but the rooms are lavish and impressive. And the best bit - you don't have to go on a long, boring guided tour as it is 'visite libre' and you get a very good little guide book in English to explain the history and main features!
