The gardens are absolutely beautifully planned and maintained, with several lightly themed sub gardens with a variety of native and classic exotic species. After a tour of the gardens, the chateau offers classic French crêpes and galettes next to a 100 year old greenhouse.
The château is very interesting, and the several different historical layers can be examined, from the Plantagenet motte and bailey mound from 12th century, over the original stronghouse wall section and towers from 16th and the masonic rooms from 19th, to finally the castle itself being used as a field hospital and the quarters of von Rundstedt in 1944, and later in the 60ies as a socialite hotspot (Aznavour and others visited)
