Take the tour in the castle. Enjoy great classic architecture in a lovely scenery. Look for the ilustrious concerts by candlelight.

A quite lovely chateau that is worth 2 hours of anyone's time. 6 of us, all adults, arrived at noon on Sunday and it was open all day. It was a showery day with few visitors, so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. This building was put up on a blank field in 8 years from 1542, and has been through various hands after the initial owners. It has now been rescued by a financial institution who are doing a great job of restoring it. We were given an informative card and left to wander around ourselves, which was lovely as you could really relax, absorb the atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful rooms. The floor of the large salon is fantastic. It is all of a piece and highly recommended.

When we visited it was just after lunch (yes they have the 2hr lunch break so watch your timings12-2)The place was quiet so we could spend time looking at the ornately decorated roomsthere are also quite extensive gardens to wander around

Cool and simple tour. Extensive gardens but picnics not allowed. Impressive interior. Not busy on the day we went, luckily.

This chateau is a must see if you are in this part of Burgundy. We had a great afternoon while touring the beautiful chateau and grounds. The high quality restoration gives the ability for one to be able to imagine what it was truly like in its glory days. Beautiful floors, murals, design and furnishings along with a good audio guide.

We visited on a sunny day with our 2 children (aged 9 and 7). The gardens are just beautiful, with a large lake and wonderful views. Found the chateau itself underwhelming. Very welcoming and a guide was available in English. There was also the opportunity for the kids to dress up if they wanted. The rooms on the first floor have been restored and there is some stunning decoration on walls / ceilings. Paintings and furniture however are less interesting and there wasn't really any sense of story or history about it.....nothing about who lived there or what life might really have been like. The ground floor is still being restored.

Alright, it's a bit pricey, but the ceilings, floors and walls are pretty spectacular and cruising round at your own speed with the handout is not boring after all.While in the area, don't miss the ecluse (lock on the Burgundy canal) at Argentenay. The lock-keeper is a naïf artist in cloth and fibreglass and the giraffe, storks etc are great. Don't you love outdoor art?!

The architecture and history is phenomenal. The Grounds are manicured with distinction. The tour guides are very well informed.

White-stone chateau, built around a lovely central courtyard. Curiously you aren't allowed to visit only the garden - which I thought the best part with paths and lake and little mini chateau. The chateau itself is oddly cold, masses of rooms one goes through, a bit like a very long history lesson, room after room. It has been very well restored, and a tremendous amount of work carried out which is wonderful to see.
