Like most tourist attractions they are easily accessible to the locals --- but to overseas tourists -without a car - it's a VERY different story! Just ask my feet.TripAdvisors continue to inform prospective visitors that from the ( tired little town ) of Ecouen - Ezanville they may enjoy a lovely walk through the forest to the Chateau. This means that they have never walked it. I did!The 'lovely walk' commences with a quite steepish gradient, which connects to a path that gradually rises over the next almost 300 yards (or meters if you like.) It then turns to the right and becomes very steep on a washed away track up to a Chateau gate. This continues up to a road leading to the building that is also by no means flat. In fact almost every step of this stroll is up hill. This track is not for folks with 'walking difficulties!' Remember that Chateaus are built on hill-tops. On the return journey one must be very careful on the steepish section - one could really have a nasty fall. Take the 629 bus. I looked for a taxi - but never saw one.The exterior of the chateau is no Vaux-le-Vicomte of Chambord. But it does contain the collected, beautiful, historical treasures from its own and other failed chateaus. Think of it in terms of: - if all Italy's, including Florence's, renaissance treasures were collected into one Palazzo; well this is France's. And knowing the French love of grandeur, you can imagine what it contains. And it does. Check it out on Google image.However, most of the exhibits are not as spectacular as in Chateau Chantilly or Compiegne. Simply because they come from 2 - 300 years previous. But each is an irreplaceable object informing us of the life style and artistic endeavor of people very much like us.Again, if you find stairs difficult - you will certainly 'be challenged' here. There are no lifts,many long staircases and a couple of very tight spiral stairwells.Drop into the Cafe. Order a glass of white wine. Mine was served in a large red wine glass - right to the brim. Good stuff.Am I glad to have visited this Treasure House? You had better believe it!!!Brian from Perth Australia.,

This is close to Roissy and an interesting daytrip from downtown Paris. Not quite as amazing as Chantilly, which is located in the same area, further to the North, but nonetheless well worth seeing. The castle hosts a series of collections, all interesting.

If you would like to see some of the most exquisite artifacts from the renaissance you must visit this museum. It contains a magnificent set of tapestries; an incredible mechanical gold clock built like a ship with drummers, courtiers and cannons; an inlaid gold drawers bench, portraits of Catherine de Medici engraved in wax; and a curiosity cabinet with incredible gold chalices. It is an easy 20 minute walk from the train station to the castle which was built by Anne Morency who was the constable of France. Don't be confused by the map in the bus stop in front of the station. Bear right past a great boulanger and pastry shop and you will see a sign pointing to the chateau. The museum closes from 12-45 till 2 for lunch but it has a delightful little restaurant where you can while away the time. Suburban trains leave from the Gare de Nord every 20 minutes and it is only a twenty minute ride to Ecouen.

About one hour from Paris by train and bus, to go to Ecouen is a nice excursion for those, who want to visit a charming small French town. The museum is in an old chateau, and with full of rare renaissance pieces of art - sometimes a bit too much of porcelain or ceramics, but sometimes with really beautiful artifacts.

A lovely museum dating back to the time of Francis I and Henry II. There is quite a bit of artwork to see, including a large collection of Ottoman plates, of all things! A great way to spend an afternoon.

The name says it all, it's a castle from the Renaissance that houses the museum of the Renaissance. It has a superb collection of "tentures" covering the walls in two rooms. You can also see a collection of stained glass, pottery, sculpture, etc. Including some of the original floors so you can get an idea of how a castle from the Renaissance would have actually looked like with all the elements of the period. Very interesting, less crowded than other museums in Paris and reasonably priced (5 euros) if you have an afternoon to spare, why not visit this castle/museum? Getting there is easy from Paris: go to Paris Nord and take a regional train (Line H) and get off at the gare d'Écouen - Ézanville. From there you can either take the bus 269 and get off at Mairie-église (5 min) or walk through the forest to the castle from the station (about 20 min) you will see a sign on your right side when exiting the gare.

Right near CDG airport, this museum is gem that I wish I had discovered earlier. The huge 16thC mansion houses a superb collection of Renaissance treasures that you can enjoy in peace without the throngs of visitors you encounter at the museums in the heart of Paris. There are 3 floors of displays with descriptions in English on the cards provided in each room. Which were our favorites? We couldn't decide. Was it the mansion itself, the tapestries, furnishings, paintings, stained glass, weapons and armor, jewelry, gold and silver pieces, ceramics, floor tiles, sculptures, on and on. We met the loveliest lady, Marie, who made our visit so special by answering all our questions and assisting our friend who needed a wheelchair. She also brought to our attention things we never would have noticed without her help. There is a very nice gift shop as you exit with helpful staff there as well. It's probably not the most interesting museum for young children, but if you would like to learn about the architecture and decorative arts of the Renaissance, this is the museum for you.

This beautiful large chateau near the town of Ecouen houses an absolutely superb collection of Renaissance artefacts , paintings , weapons , furniture pottery etc but there is no-one visiting . Ok it was a wet Wednesday afternoon that we were there but it seemed as if we were the only people visiting . we were on a hike and so had maps but I would say it wasn't very well signed ; but maybe if you arrive by car it is better . However it really isn't far from the station and there is a reliable frequent service from Gare du Nord in Paris which takes 20-25 minutes . The staff were not overly helpful but you can get a leaflet in English giving an overview. None of the labels is in English . However at 5 Euros it is a snip . Would definitely recommend

I recommand this castle, only 22 minutes by train from Paris-Nord station (the closiest countryside of Paris). This castle houses a magnificent collection of XV-XVI th centuries, as important as the Louvre Museum'one. From Ecouen-Ezanville Station to the castle, you can take the bus 269 and stop at "Mairie d'Ecouen". If you prefer to take a breath, you can walk by the forest' paths (15 minutes walking). Sure you will enjoy Ecouen caste and Museum if you like Art and History.
