Unfortunately we had to turn around after almost an hour of driving when we arrived at the castle. We had sent an email the day before to ask if the visit was possible with a dog (possible with a dog but in arms). Quick response but too bad we were not told that we needed to book.
Positive point: the environment around the castle allows for walks.

Bonjour Sylvie
Je comprends votre déception, , il est cependant mentionné sur notre site internet et sur notre flyer qu'il est préférable de réserver notre visite guidée théâtralisée, encore plus en été, encore plus le 15/08.
En effet, les jours d'affluence comme la journée du 15/08, même si nous gardons quelques places pour les visiteurs de passage, celles-ci sont prises d'assaut.
Merci de votre compréhension.
Au plaisir de vous revoir malgré tout sur notre site.

Bravo for the theatrical visit which gives a bit of the impression of having taken a leap back in time. The intrusions of the ghosts of the former owners and the immersive videos make the visit very alive.
In addition, the place is magnificent and the castle is very well maintained.

We arrived in the morning. The river was still and the chateau was reflected in the water.
Small car park next to entrance. Beautiful small fairy tale castle. Worth a diversion just to see the outside.

Nice little castle. Very nicely restored.
The tour was very nicely done, even though it was only in French. Received English text of the tour.
Don't visit Castle without a tour. It is at certain time, with us at 11, so half an hour have to wait.
Cost €6.50 pp

This castle sits on the waterfront of the Loire and it looks beautiful. When I was there, the offered a guided tour, but only in French. They advised not to join if your French is basic of not that well. So I did not see much of the inside of the castle. There was not much to see but the castle, the bridge to the castle and the surroundings.

We came for a family evening specially to eat their frog legs, as it was from a very long time our expectation was height. Unfortunately, the frog legs were dry and very oily, we were disappointed. The rest of the dishes were ok, but you can’t really go wrong with salad, melon and ice cream. Next time we will definitely go somewhere else closer.
However, the restaurant area is amazing with the castle.

The castle from the outside looks real nice. But the tour inside was a letdown. There is literally nothing to see besides printed out pictures.

We had a very good walk along the river, the path was so beautiful, my girls had fun with the butterflies and dragonflies.
The château was beautiful and full of history. The château has an audioguide, fun to listen while visiting inside the château.

From a distance it looks like a fantastic and beautiful old chateau, built on an island in the Loire River, but once you are there, you are in for a big surprise. It is not an old castle, it’s the dream come true of someone from the area who wanted to live in a castle. So he built this one for him and his wife. Unfortunately ii is inhabitable due to the fact that it floods! That is the reason there is no furniture at all in the castle. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful castle.

Beautiful little chateau to go and visit, we went on a lovely sunny day and it looked gorgeous in the sunshine, we did the tour with the MP3 players giving us the history which was very interesting, place to sit and have food and drink overlooking the river, I would say check opening times as they do close for few hours during the day

Bonjour, j’hésite à venir avec mes enfants de 5 ans (ou attendre encore quelques années) la visite serait-elle adapté pour eux?
Autre question, y a t-il un endroit pour boire une verre/manger un goûter aux alentours du château ? Merci.
Cordialement
