Special thanks to guides who share the story of the castle and people who lived there. Reserve a few hours for the castle and park. A car parking is under the trees just opposite the castle. You can either pay for the parking in the museum (5euro) or by card when leaving. Hint: if you will have a meal in the Belle restaurant you can ask for a free parking token for the castle parking. Otherwise, you can have lunch in the castle's cafe. They offers a few kinds of soups, sandwiches...
